After the one in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy written together with Thomas D. Williams, another encyclopedia article on personalism, this time by me alone, is now published in Springer’s new Encyclopedia of Sciences and Religions.

Joseph Karl Stieler, 1835
The conference venue is one of the several buildings of the new, administratively rationalized mega-department of “Arts and Cultural Sciences”. It is the work of the architect Salomon Eberhard Sörensen (1856-1937), and was built in 1896 in Neo-Renaissance style. The interior is dominated by a huge staircase which connects three of the four floors, but there is also a lift connecting all four floors. There are excellent spaces for coffee breaks, but no meals will be served here. We expect all to prefer to go out in beautiful Lund to choose their own restaurants for lunches and dinners (except for the Conference Dinner which will be advertised later). The address is Biskopsgatan 7.

Fredrik Ullén is professor of cognitive neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, whose Nobel Assembly awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. His research focuses on neurobiological mechanisms of expertise, learning, and creativity, with special emphasis on musical expertise and musicianship. A major current effort is to analyse various questions related to the biology of music from a neurogenetic perspective, in collaboration with the Swedish Twin Registry.
Ullén is also an internationally well-known pianist, whose repertoire includes many of the most complex and demanding works in the piano literature, such as Ligeti’s complete piano études, Reger’s Spezialstudien and Sorabji’s Études transcendantes, but who is also interested in creative programming with couplings of new and traditional literature. His solo CDs have been enthusiastically praised by internationally renowned critics and have received a number of prestigious awards. Ullén is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.

Among cheaper hotels (i.e., cheaper than Concordia, which offers the special conference rate mentioned in the Call for Papers) are Ahlström and Sparta.
All of these are right in the centre, with the exception of Sparta, which, however, is still within walking distance of the conference venue.
There are quite a few other hotels both in central Lund (like Lilla Hotellet, Oskar and Duxiana) and in the high-tech sprawl surrounding the centre.
Find more hotels, and compare prices, at Hotels.com or Booking.com.
Bed & Breakfast and private rooms are also available, at lower prices than the hotels.
