[quantum-foundations] [PhilPhys] London Foundations Connection Workshop on the Foundations of Quantum Theory (fwd)

[Matthew Leifer]

Just as an addendum to Jeremy's email, please note that this meeting is 
primarily aimed at promoting interaction between the London colleges, so 
you do currently need a London affiliation to register.  However, we 
anticipate having enough space for some people from outside London to 
attend, so you can still send an expression of interest to 
adam.caulton at gmail.com and we will let you know whether we have space 
after the registration deadline (30th March).

Apologies for having to impose this rule, but the intra-London nature of 
the meeting is one of the conditions of our grant.
