Conferences

The NUCSS Conference organized by the Department of Philosophy at the University of Kelaniya is an annual academic gathering that provides a platform for undergraduate students of philosophy across Sri Lanka to present their research, share ideas, and engage in scholarly dialogue. NUCSS stands for the National Undergraduate Conference on Social Sciences, and the Philosophy Department plays a leading role in hosting sessions that highlight critical issues in ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, Buddhist philosophy, and contemporary thought.

Through paper presentations, panel discussions, and interactive forums, the conference encourages young scholars to refine their analytical skills, develop confidence in academic writing, and contribute to the broader intellectual community. It also fosters collaboration among universities, creating a vibrant space where diverse philosophical traditions and perspectives are explored. By hosting the NUCSS Conference every year, the Department of Philosophy at UoK reaffirms its commitment to nurturing the next generation of thinkers and promoting philosophy as a discipline deeply connected to social and cultural realities.
