## Call for Papers: Bayes By the Sea: “Formal Epistemology,
Statistics, and Game Theory”, Ancona, The Marche –Italy, 30-31
August 2019.
Recent proposals for scientific reform highlight the need to develop an
integrated approach towards scientific methodology, which accounts for
the interaction of foundational, pragmatic, and strategic dimensions of
evidence evaluation.
The second edition of the Bayes By the Sea conference: “Formal
Epistemology, Statistics, and Game Theory” aims to bring together
philosophers of statistics and of the scientific method, methodologists
and metascientists, as well as economists and game-theorists, in order
to refresh the debate on the foundations of the sciences from new
perspectives, with a special focus on scientific rationality, scientific
misconduct, science economics, foundations of statistics and the
scientific method, in diverse scientific ecosystems characterized by
distinctive practices, structures, and institutions.
A special attention will be devoted this year also to formal/conceptual
tools of game theory/rational choice theory in representing and studying
the interactions of agents operating in scientific ecosystems as
strategic behavior of rational players, whose repeated interactions
shape the current scientific practices.
Keynote Speakers:
Peter Brössel (Bochum)
Clelia Di Serio (Milan)
Andrés Pereas (Maastricht)
Jan Sprenger (Turin)
We welcome contributions from: (Formal/Social) Epistemology, Philosophy
and Foundations of Statistics, Metascience and Scientific Methodology,
(Epistemic) Game Theory, Decision Theory, Science Economics, Law, and
Ethics.
Deadline for Paper/Poster Submission: 2nd July 2019.
Please submit a short abstract (max 500 words) via Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bbs2
Organisers:
Stefano Bonzio (Univpm Ancona)
William Peden (Univpm Ancona; Durham)
Barbara Osimani (Univpm Ancona; LMU)
Mantas Radzvilas (MCMP/LMU Munich)
Todd Stambaugh (MCMP/LMU Munich; CUNY)

The conference will be embedded in the BBS Summer School (25 August –
1st September) and school participants will also actively attend to the
conference.
We greatly enjoyed our conference last year (2018 Edition) and we look
forward to a similar success this year!

Foundations of Statistics, Bayesian Statistics, Social Epistemology,
Epistemic Game Theory, and Game-Theoretic Probability.
Lecturers:
Peter Brössel (Bochum)
