Download the Good Practice Scheme recommendations for learned societies [pdf / word]

Most of the major UK philosophy learned societies now subscribe to the GPS, as well as a couple of European ones. We welcome further subscribers from both the UK and overseas.

The recommendations mostly overlap with the recommendations in the Conferences and Seminar Series and Journal Editors/Editorial Boards; please see those pages for further resources.

We also encourage learned societies to consider implementing the following:

• BPA Guidelines for Accessible Conferences
• BPA Guidelines for Accessible Public Lectures
• BPA Guidelines for Philosophers for Business Travel
• The Barcelona Principles for a Globally Inclusive Philosophy
