<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The course will introduce the participants to the current state-of-the-art on quantum non-locality, with the aim of contributing to the ongoing philosophical discussion on the topic. The course will feature talks and
discussion groups on topics, including non-locality and relativity, causal models for Bell experiments, superdeterminism and retrocausation, entanglement and quantum ontology, and temporal non-locality. Professor Alastair Wilson from the University of Birmingham
will give the opening lecture, presenting an overview of the current state-of-the-art.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

participant's work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This course is primarily aimed at PhD level students in philosophy, philosophy of science, philosophy of physics, and metaphysics, but postdocs and master's students with an interest in the topic are also welcome to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
