15-16 April 2004, Workshop on MODELS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

The goal of the workshop is to inform PhD-students about the standard philosophical views on the logical and methodological function of models in science and technology. Furthermore, it is our objective to confront these views with the ways in which scientists and engineers use models in their everyday scientific work.

This workshop will be held in the context of the Dutch-Flemish Network for Philosophy of Science and Technology. Speakers include Wilfrid Hodges, Marcel Boumans, Peter van Oosterom, Michiel Korthals and Sjoerd Zwart.

Participants should register before April 1st,by sending an e-mail to filosofie at tbm.tudelft.nl and by paying the workshop fee of Euro 185. The fee covers accommodation, meals and course material. Registration is definitive only after the workshop fee has been received.
