The project is proposed for a three year period (2021-2024) and within that period we are planning a series of different
activities aimed at developing the project and disseminating its results to academic audiences and the general public.
The management structure is relatively simple since the researchers have a long experience of joint research work and
in the organization of workshops and scientific academic publications. The team will organize its work in accordance
to a structure divided in six parts corresponding to six work packages:
WP 1: Creation of reading group
WP 2: Project coordination meetings
WP 3: Expert workshops
WP 4: Participation in international events
WP 5: Public International conference
WP 6: Publications and Other Output
The project is scientifically managed by Roberto Merrill who is integrated researcher at the Centre
for Ethics, Politics and Society (CEPS), at the University of Minho and Alan Thomas, from the Philosophy Department of the University of York.
