The AGPhil organizes a symposium “Epistemology of Big Data in Physics” on March 16-17. We plan an interdisciplinary exchange between philosophers and scientists working in areas of physics where large data sets arise, e.g. at CERN or in climate science. Confirmed speakers are thus far: Claus Beisbart (Bern), David Bresch (Zurich), Koray Karaca (Twente), Balázs Kégl (Paris), Johannes Lenhard (Bielefeld), and Wolfgang Pietsch (Munich). Contributions in this area are especially appreciated.
The AGPhil also hosts a joint symposium on “Cosmic Censorship” with the DPG sections for gravitation and relativity, for theoretical and mathematical physics and the astronomical society (March 13). Invited speaker on behalf of the AGPhil is Eric Curiel (Munich).
