Date: Thursday 5 June 2014
Location: KNAW, The Trippenhuis, Kloveniersburgwal 29, 1011 JV Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The scientific cooperation between China and the Netherlands dates back more than thirty years. Throughout the years, training of talented young researchers has always been an important aim. PhD candidates from both China and Netherlands benefit from the complementary expertise of excellent scientists in the two countries while getting to know the science system in both countries, building closer ties and a lasting cooperation. The PhD event is organised for this group of young researchers.

Like the first PhD event, we offer interesting and challenging disputes and workshops, a keynote speech of an international expert, lectures with very practical information for your PhD project and your future career and a lot of opportunity to get to know each other.

In this workshop, we aim to bring together philosophers, computer scientists, argumentation scholars, and experts in persuasive communication to discuss the nature and dynamics of argumentation on the Internet, how new technologies change the argumentative practices of users, what skills and expertise become critical in such a new info-ecology, how ICT can be used to foster rather than hamper critical reflection and debate, and what implications this should have for education, societal change and policy making.
