* The Dutch-Flemish Association for Analytic Philosophy (‘Vereniging voor Analytische Filosofie’) was founded in 2006 in Amsterdam. Since then, three highly successful international conferences and numerous workshops under VAF-auspices were organized in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) and the Netherlands. The VAF is an institutional member of the European Society for Analytic Philosophy (ESAP). The first VAF Conference took place at the Free University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), keynote Speaker: Timothy Williamson (Oxford). (40 participants, 20 speakers). The second VAF Conference took place in 2007 at the University of Antwerp (55 participants, 25 speakers from across Europe). The third VAF conference took place in January 2009 at Tilburg University and was attended by more than 100 speakers and participants.
