Call for papers: 15th International Conference on Deontic Logic and Normative Systems (DEON 2020/21) 21st -24th July 2021 Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP/LMU), Munich, Germany The biennial DEON conferences are designed to promote interdisciplinary cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical study of normative concepts, normative language and normative systems with computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, organization theory and law. In addition to these general themes, DEON 2020/21 will encourage a special focus on the topic: *Norms in Social Perspective*. *On this extra call* Due to COVID-19, we had to postpone the DEON conference to the summer of 2021. A first round of papers was already selected last summer. With this extra call for new submissions, we hope to attract authors who were not already accepted within last summer’s round. Selected submissions for this round will be published in the proceedings together with those of the first round, and presented at the conference. We strongly encourage women and other members of under-represented groups in academia to submit a paper. *Publication* The proceedings will be published with College Publications. Revised versions of selected papers from the conference will subsequently be published in a special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation (Oxford University Press). *Keynote speakers* Marcia Baron (Indiana University, Bloomington) Emiliano Lorini (IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse University, France) Shyam Nair (Arizona State University, Tempe) Sonja Smets (ILLC, University of Amsterdam) *Important Dates* • Abstract submission deadline: 21st February, 2021 • Paper submission deadline: 28th February, 2021 • Notification: 16th May, 2021 • Camera Ready: 30th May, 2021 • Conference: 21st – 24th July, 2021 *Submission Details* Authors are invited to submit an original, previously unpublished, short research paper pertaining to any of DEON topics.
