Warsaw University of Technology<\/a>,\u00a0Faculty of Administration and Social Sciences<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The European Conference on Argumentation (ECA) is a biennial pan-European initiative aiming to consolidate and advance research on argumentation. After four successful editions, in Lisbon in 2015, Fribourg in 2017, Groningen in 2019 and Rome in 2022, ECA will be hosted in 2025 by the Warsaw University of Technology, in Warsaw, Poland. We aim to attract scholars on argumentation worldwide from various disciplines, dealing with a range of themes and adopting a variety of approaches.<\/p>\n Website: www.ecargument.org<\/a> Keynote speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n Dawn Archer<\/strong><\/a>, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK The special theme of this conference is Argumentation in the Digital Society. The main objective of the conference is to identify the key research areas related to the dynamics of change and development in today’s digitised society. Social media bring with them many new communication opportunities and open up a range of exciting challenges related to new forms of argumentation with unprecedented reach and associated social impact. They may also generate phenomena that can negatively affect the rationality and the reasonableness of argumentative discourse.\u00a0 Particularly noteworthy among these is the phenomenon of polarisation, which is of considerable importance for the distancing of social groups (including social media user communities) from each other, as well as phenomena such as the spread of fake news, offensive language, and hate speech. These and other phenomena in digitised communication may constitute a block to the development of rational and reasonable activity in argumentative discourse. Hence there is a need to develop the theoretical tools of argumentation and related disciplines that allow discussion and argument to be founded on trust, charity, and goodwill. The conference aims to explore these topics and ensure a high-quality exchange of research results.<\/p>\n Submissions outside of the scope of the special theme Argumentation in the Digital Society are also accepted. We invite submissions from all sub-disciplines of argumentation, on all relevant topics, and employing a variety of methods and approaches. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:<\/p>\n Early bird<\/span>\u00a0(by 30\u00a0June 2025)<\/p>\n PhD Student\u00a0\u20ac\u00a0190 Late<\/span>\u00a0(by 31 July 2025)<\/p>\n PhD Student\u00a0\u20ac\u00a0240 Fees include conference materials, lunches, coffee breaks, receptions and administrative costs.

Pozna\u0144 is a 2.5-hour train ride from Warsaw and also has its own airport. The summer school allows Early Career Researchers to explore current methods in the empirical analysis of natural language argumentation. This includes a variety of topics such as formal and informal logic, erotetic logic, computational approaches, conversation and discourse analysis, and experimental methods in psychology with a strong focus on practical, hands-on analysis. Participants are encouraged to submit a 2-5 page description of their graduate research project, which will be presented during the first day (Student Session). Additionally, participants will have the chance to consult with tutors during one-to-one mentoring sessions on the final day. Applications are evaluated by the Organizing Committee on a first-come first-served basis. We anticipate hosting approximately 15-20 participants.<\/p>\n The conference dinner is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, at 8:00 p.m<\/strong>.\u00a0Details will be provided in the conference program.<\/p>\n Warsaw<\/a> is a lively and inspiring Central European city with a rich cultural life.
