SUMMARY:International Spring School on the History
 , Philosophy, & Sociology of Large Physics Experim
 ents, Wuppertal, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220313
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220320
LOCATION:Wuppertal, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Large experiments such as the Large Ha
 dron Collider (LHC), the Laser Interferometer Grav
 itational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), and the Event H
 orizon Telescope (EHT) play an essential role at t
 he frontiers of contemporary fundamental physics. 
 These experiments employ big research facilities, 
 they probe nature at vast energy and length scales
 , they produce immense amounts of data, and they i
 nvolve great numbers of researchers. During this S
 pring School we will explore large physics experim
 ents from historical, philosophical, and sociologi
 cal perspectives. We will discuss questions such a
 s those arising from the history and philosophy of
  fundamental physics, the methodological challenge
 s of big data, and the history and sociology of la
 rge research collaborations.  We invite up to 30 g
 raduate students and early career researchers from
  history, philosophy, sociology, and physics to pa
 rticipate. The application process will be competi
 tive and participants will be selected according t
 o qualification and research interests.  A selecti
 on of participants will be given the opportunity t
 o give short presentations of their own work as pa
 rt of the school. The presentations will be follow
 ed by a commentary from a member of the Research U
 nit or one of the invited speakers. In case you in
 tend to give a presentation, please include in you
 r application the title of your talk, and a short 
 abstract (between 300 and 500 words).
