The Working Group Philosophy of Physics (AGPhil) of the German Physical
Society (DPG) invites submissions for its annual workshop. Contributions on
any topic in the philosophy of physics are welcome. The conference takes
place at the University of Bremen from March 13 to 17, 2016, and will be
part of the Annual Meeting of the DPG
(http://bremen17.dpg-tagungen.de/index.html?set_language=en&cl=en)
The AGPhil organizes a symposium Epistemology of Big Data in Physics on
March 16-17. We plan an interdisciplinary exchange between philosophers and
scientists working in areas of physics where large data sets arise, e.g. at
CERN or in climate science. Confirmed speakers are thus far: Claus Beisbart
(Bern), David Bresch (Zurich), Koray Karaca (Twente), Balázs Kégl (Paris),
Johannes Lenhard (Bielefeld), and Wolfgang Pietsch (Munich). Contributions
in this area are especially appreciated.
The AGPhil also hosts a joint symposium on Cosmic Censorship with the DPG
sections for gravitation and relativity, for theoretical and mathematical
physics and the astronomical society (March 13). Invited speaker on behalf
of the AGPhil is Eric Curiel (Munich).
If you would like to present a paper, please submit an abstract of about 200
words by 8 January, 2016, using the online-form at
https://www.dpg-tagung.de/hb17/submission.html?language=en
We look forward to seeing you in Bremen!
