Reminder: Seventh Spacetime Conference
by Vesselin Petkov May 8, 2024

May 8, 2024

[Apologies for eventual cross-posting] Dear Colleagues, The seventh spacetime conference will commemorate the 115th anniversary of the publication (in 1909) of Minkowski's 1908 world-view-changing lecture "Space and Time," which presented the novel ideas of the spacetime structure of the world and the four-dimensional physics of spacetime. It is organized by Minkowski Institute (Montreal) and will be held in the famous Black Sea resort "Albena" (near Varna, Bulgaria) from 16 to 19 September 2024: https://minkowskiinstitute.com/conferences/2024/ To have a better idea of where the conference will be held, you can have a look at pictures taken during the third Minkowski Meeting last September (also held in Albena): https://minkowskiinstitute.com/meetings/2023/pictures.html The Scientific Organizing Committee invites papers from physicists, philosophers of physics and philosophers on any topic related to the nature and ontology of spacetime. Suggestions for special sessions on specific topics are welcome. We hope there will be sufficient interest in a special session "Minkowski's actual and intended contributions to spacetime physics" to mark the 160th anniversary of the birth of Hermann Minkowski (1864-2024). Extended abstracts of between one and two pages should be emailed to 2024conference(a)minkowskiinstitute.com by 1 June 2024. Submissions will be reviewed and notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 June 2024. A volume with selected (peer-reviewed) papers will be published by Minkowski Institute Press (https://minkowskiinstitute.com/mip/books/) - an academic publisher run by academics for academics - which has published 81 books so far; the latest volume with selected talks: https://www.minkowskiinstitute.com/mip/books/2023volume.html Scientific Organizing Committee: Valia Allori (University of Bergamo) James Binkoski (Dartmouth College) Carolyn Brighouse (Occidental College, Los Angeles) Karen Crowther (University of Oslo) Erik Curiel (University of Bonn) Nina Emery (Mount Holyoke College and UMass Amherst) Robert Geroch (University of Chicago) John B.
