[PhilPhys] CFP: First Irvine-Munich-PoliMi-Salzburg Conference in Philosophy and Foundations of Physics

[Erik Curiel]

*First Irvine-Munich-PoliMi-Salzburg Conference in Philosophy and
Foundations of Physics*

*(IMPS 2018)*

*Organizing committee: *Erik Curiel (Munich), Patricia Palacios
(Salzburg), Giovanni Valente (Milan), Jim Weatherall (Irvine), and
Charlotte Werndl (Salzburg)

*Call for Papers*

Over the past decades, important contributions to the mathematical and
conceptual foundations of physical theories have been made within the
philosophical community.  Conversely, critical analysis of the formal
structures of our best physical theories inform central philosophical
concerns, and in some cases new theorems have been proven and new lines
of argument developed that are of philosophical significance. This
conference aims to bring together philosophers, physicists, and
mathematicians working on such issues. The event will be held on
September 3-4, 2018 at the University of Salzburg (Austria). It will
immediately precede a workshop on "Time in Physics" taking place on
September 4-5, 2018. Speakers for the workshop include Harvey Brown
(Oxford), Patricia Palacios (Salzburg), Bryan Roberts (London), Jos
Uffink (Minnesota), Francesca Vidotto (Bilbao) and Christian Wuthrich
(Geneva). Papers on any topic of philosophy and foundations of physics
by younger researchers, especially graduate students and post-doctoral
scholars, are particularly encouraged and will be given priority.

Papers of no longer than 5000 words should be submitted via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imps20180 ) by June 1, 2018.
Decisions will be communicated by July 1, 2018.
