The first edition of the International Conference *Semiosis in
Communication: Knowing and Learning* will be organized by the National
University of Political Studies and Public Administration, Romania
(NUPSPA) in participation with Roehampton University, London, UK and
held in Bucharest, Romania, from the 16th to the 18th of June, 2016.

The conference explores the role of semiosis (interpretation) in
communication, offering an insight towards the epistemological relations
between semiotics and other approaches to communication, coming from
perspectives such as sociology, philosophy of language and communication
theory.


Semiotics is currently enjoying an increasing popularity within the
humanities and social sciences. Thus, how semiosis sheds light on
communication and vice versa is still an underexplored theme. This
conference is a pioneer exploration of this relation.

*Keynote speakers confirmed*:

·*- Solomon Marcus*, member of the Mathematical Section of the Romanian
Academy and Emeritus Professor of the University of Bucharest's Faculty
of Mathematics

·*- Andrew Stables*, Professor of Education and Philosophy and Head of
Research in the School of Education, University of Roehampton.

For the first edition of the International Conference Semiosis in
Communication: Knowing and Learning there are expected other keynote
speakers, who are internationally recognized experts in their areas as
well. Their names are not yet confirmed.
