6 October 2023, "J.L. Austin: Philosopher and D-Day Intelligence Officer" , Mark Rowe
On behalf of the Philosophy Department at VU and the English Literature Department at UvA, in collaboration with the venue Spui25, we cordially invite all of our interested colleagues and students to an evening with Dr. Mark Rowe, who has just published the first full-length biography of the celebrated ordinary-language philosopher, J.L. Austin. The book reveals the true complexity of Austin's character and the full range and significance of his achievements, including his lesser-known role in planning the D-Day landings. The biography has received stellar reviews, including the most recent one by Thomas Nagel in the London Review of Books.
7 October 2023, Open Day Amsterdam Science Park
On Saturday 7 October, the open day at the Amsterdam Science Park will take place as part of the Weekend of Science (Weekend van de Wetenschap). Companies and research institutes at the Science Park will open their doors to interested parties.
At the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science and other locations, visitors can attend guided tours, workshops and demonstrations. Learn more about cosmic wave research and what happened immediately after the Big Bang, or discover what cells your body is made of! This event can be visited by young and old alike free of charge, no registration is necessary.
9 October 2023, Amsterdam Causality Meeting, Sander Beckers and Nan van Geloven
In Fall 2023, a new causality seminar will start, co-organized by Sara Magliacane, Joris Mooij and Stéphanie van der Pas.
The aim of the seminar is to bring together researchers in causal inference from the VU, UvA, Amsterdam UMC and CWI, but the seminar is open to everyone.
We plan to organize 4 events per year, where each event consists of two scientific talks and a networking event with drinks afterwards.

23 October 2023, Algebra, Categories and Models Reading Group, Lide Grotenhuis
The Algebras, Categories and Models Reading Group (formerly the Categorical Model Theory Reading Group) is organised bi-weekly by PhD Students at the ILLC, and is geared towards discussing the interactions between these areas.
23 October 2023, VVL Essentials, Marianna Girlando
VvL Essentials talks are high-level introductory talks, that introduce early-career logicians to a field they may not be familiar with. This forms a low-threshold way to broaden their own specific research area and encourages collaborations. The talks will be hosted by different universities within the Netherlands, and they will have a hybrid format - for those who attend in person, drinks and snacks will be provided afterwards!
The very first edition of VvL Essentials is organized by Rodrigo Almeida (PhD student at the ILLC) and Giovanni Varricchione (PhD student at Utrecht University).

25 October 2023, Encoding Polyphony – Symposium in honor of Simha Arom
This symposium consists of two lectures, given by Dr. Christoph Finkensiep (Music Cognition Group, UvA) and Prof. Dr. Frank Scherbaum (SeismoSoundScape-Lab, Univ. Potsdam), on computational modelling of polyphonic music, preceded by an introduction by Prof. dr. Julia Kursell (UvA). The symposium is part of a four-days event in honor of the eminent musicologist Prof. dr. h.c. Simha Arom (Paris), director emeritus at the CNRS, whose work on polyrhythm and polyphony has opened up new perspectives on the notation as well as the cognitive and computational modelling of music. The lectures will highlight Arom's work on Georgian polyphonic singing (Scherbaum) and embed it in the history and current state of research music and AI.
Entrance is free, but registration is required via j.j.e.kursell at uva.nl.
