Example Call:
The Blueprint Futures Conference invites researchers, creators, and practitioners to submit abstracts that explore innovative frameworks, structural models, and forward-looking system designs. We welcome proposals that map emerging ideas, chart new methodologies, or present scalable solutions across disciplines such as technology, urban planning, education, sustainability, and organizational strategy.
Submissions should clearly outline the core concept, its structural components, and its potential impact. Accepted abstracts will guide full presentations, workshops, or poster sessions during the conference.
Deadline: June 15, 2026
Submission Length: 250–300 words

Topics may include (but are not limited to):

Alexadra Spalek is an associate Professor in Spanish language and Head of Education at University of Oslo.
She studies the distinctive features of human language that facilitate the creation and communication of complex meanings, with a specialization in natural language semantics and a focus on lexical semantics. Her research examines the internal semantic structures of words and their interactions within larger linguistic frameworks, identifying which aspects of word meaning are grammatically relevant versus idiosyncratic across and within languages.

Beáta Gyuris is a senior research fellow at the Institute for General and Hungarian Linguistics. She studies formal semantics and pragmatics. Her current work focuses on topics at the interfaces of semantics and pragmatics, including information structure, pragmatic markers, sentence types and speech acts. She also participates in projects investigating questions in syntax, prosody or psycholinguistics. Website

Hans-Martin Gärtner is a research group leader and research professor at the Institute for General and Hungarian Linguistics.
His current research there is at the meeting points of grammar and pragmatics. It explores the connection between sentence types (in particular, interrogatives, conditionals, hortatives, special and minor types, fragments) and speech acts (in particular, question acts, commissives, indirectness, explicit performatives, joint commitment and bias). Special attention is paid to aspects of clause combining (embedded root phenomena, mood choice, finiteness), and additional diagnostic phenomena (e.g. particles and negation). Various discourse/usage modes are taken into account (e.g. legal language, religious language, dialogue, signs/gestures). Website
