18 - 20 June 2025, Masterclass in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practices with Michael Barany, Brussels, Belgium
The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLPS) of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will host its 7th Masterclass in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practices on June 1820, 2025 with Michael Barany (University of Edinburgh). We intend the masterclass to be a fully interactive in-person event, with the twofold objective to understand in depth the materials presented in the lectures, and to provide early career researchers (MA students, PhD students and Postdocs) with an opportunity to discuss their ongoing work in a helpful and constructive environment. This year's theme is Situating Mathematical Practices: Materials, Institutions, and Critical Context.
The Masterclass honors Joachim Frans (1989-2023) who co-organized the Masterclass for many years.
We invite interested early career researchers to send us an abstract of at most 250 words by May 2. The talks will consist of a 20 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes for discussion. It is not mandatory for contributed talks to engage with the workshop theme. Notice that submitting an abstract is not mandatory for attending the Masterclass.
