*Philosophy of High Energy Physics (PHEP-2)*
*University of Pittsburgh *
*In-Person Workshop *
*February 15-16, 2025*
* Free with Registration - Register at the bottom of the page.*
The second Pittsburgh workshop on philosophy of particle and high energy
physics will be held at the Center for Philosophy of Science on
15th-16th February 2025. The theme is construed broadly to include
cosmology, astrophysics, quantum gravity and quantum field theory insofar
as they overlap with issues in high-energy physics.
