42nd Annual Meeting
April 13 – 17, 2015
NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS
DATES: April 13 – 17, 2015
THEMES: The three topics for 2015 are:
Philosophy of Physics
Science, Technology, and Values
Philosophy of the History of Science
These topics are to be understood very broadly.
THE CONFERENCE is run in a very informal fashion. We will make up a schedule in advance,
and revise as we go. If you arrive you will be fitted in. It is, however, useful to us to know who
is likely to participate, so please let one of the organizers know of your intention to come by
March, if possible, and give us a title. That way we can get a good idea of what to expect and
can plan accordingly.
PRESENTATION: This is an international conference. While English is the working language,
it is not the mother tongue of many of your listeners. So, it is more than usually important to be
clear. Talks are preferred to readings (PowerPoint projectors, etc. available). The
presentation should be roughly 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of discussion.
THE IUC: Sessions are held at the Inter-University Centre, located just outside the old city.
The sessions usually start at 9:30 am. We normally have four talks each day. At your hotel, they
can tell you how to get to the Centre. There will be a conference registration fee of about 35 €.
