“Exploring Epistemic Shifts in Computer-Based Environmental Sciences”
Dear Colleagues,
we would like to invite three more PhD students to our ESF Exploratory Workshop. Please circulate the call to PhD-students who are interested in the history, philosophy or sociology of computer simulation in environmental sciences.
Best regards
Matthias Heymann

ESF-Exploratory Workshop “Exploring Epistemic Shifts in Computer-Based Environmental Sciences”
Department of Science Studies, Aarhus University, 10-12 June 2010
Conveners: Matthias Heymann (Aarhus University), Gabriele Gramelsberger (FU Berlin)
The scope of the workshop is to explore recent and ongoing developments in computer modeling and simulation in the environmental sciences from interdisciplinary historical, philosophical and sociological perspectives and develop and discuss new interdisciplinary and collaborative strategies of future research. The workshop aims at discussing the following key questions:
1. How does scientific knowledge become accessible for computational applications? And what happens to areas of knowledge, which are not computable?
2. Do established standards of science still work in computational sciences, where simulation results cannot be tested easily? How are new standards established in these fields?
3. Which research strategies are required to explore - from a science studies perspective - these shifts in computer based environmental sciences?
The workshop will host about 25 participants, among them 5 PhD students. We will be able to cover costs for travel and hotel for the participants.
The ESF-Exploratory Workshop aims at support the forming of new collaborative international research initiatives. It will be dedicated to intensive discussion based on pre-circulated papers or research proposals and short oral commentaries. Participants are asked to submit relevant papers or research proposals until 1 May 2010. These papers will be circulated to all participants and have to be read prior to the workshop. The recommended length of paper or proposal drafts is about 2000 words.
PhD students with relevant research projects, who are interested in participating in the workshop, are invited to submit abstracts (about 100 words) for research papers or proposals, a CV and a statement of motivation (about one page) until 31 March 2010 to both Matthias Heymann (matthias.heymann@ivs.au.dk) and Gabriele Gramelsberger (gab@zedat.fu-berlin.de). From these submissions a limited number of students will be selected within few days.
