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

The aim of this workshop is to bring together physicists and philosophers of physics for a meeting 
focused on fundamental issues in physics relating to reduction and emergence. Participants will 
include researchers with expertise  in string theory, statistical physics, condensed matter physics, and 
renormalisation. The workshop will combine consideration of issues in contemporary physics research 
with discussion of longstanding philosophical questions, such as the nature of scientific explanations 
and the relationship between different systems of physical laws.

SPEAKERS: Sir Michael Berry (Bristol), Jeremy Butterfield (Cambridge), Radin Dardashti (LMU Munich), 
Richard Dawid (Vienna), Georgi Dvali (LMU Munich), Samuel Fletcher (UC Irvine), Erwin Frey (LMU 
Munich), Paul Hoyningen-Huene (Hannover), Dustin Lazarovici (LMU Munich), Eric Winsberg (South 
Florida), Charlotte Werndl (LSE), Lena Zuchowski (Cambridge)
