FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICS 2013

The 17th UK and European Meeting

LMU Munich

29-31 July 2013

*********************************************

This conference will consider topics across the entire spectrum of
foundational and philosophical approaches to physical theory. Whilst there
will be a particular focus upon the analysis of specific physical theories
(e.g. classical and quantum theories of spacetime, quantum mechanics,
quantum field theory, statistical physics), we also invite submissions on
methodological questions, experimental practices, and the study of
philosophically interesting episodes from the history of physics. It is
hoped that bringing together philosophers of physics, historians of
physics, and working physicists to discuss topics of mutual interest, will
be of great benefit to practitioners of each discipline.

We invite submissions of extended abstracts of 1000 words for contributed
talks and proposals for symposia by 1st February 2013. Decisions will be
made by 1st March 2013.
