The advan ced ERC project "C-FORS: Construction in the Formal Sciences" led by Professor Øystein Lin nebo (University of Oslo) is glad to announce its first graduate conference. The topic is constructi onal approaches to foundations of mathematics and philosophy. The aim of the conference is to bring together graduate students working in the Philosop hy of Mathematics and Logic, in Metaphysics and in Ontology and that are interested in (or critical of) constructional (i.e., iterative or hierarchica l) accounts in these disciplines.
\nBeside the current members of C-FORS, the discussion sha ll be guided by the two invited keynotes, Joel Dav id Hamkins (Notre Dame) and Jon Erling Litland (UT Austin), who are both leading experts on topics r elevant to the main theme of the conference. In ad dition, the conference involves the assignment of a commentator to lead the discussion on the contri buted talk by each participant. Comments will be p rovided by three scholars that are also experts in their fields, namely Deborah Kant (Hamburg), Sam Roberts (Konstanz) and Chris Scambler (Oxford).
\nGraduate students and early-c areer researchers (within one year from completion of their PhD) are invited to *submit abstracts (u p to 1500 words) on the subject of the conference and prepared for blind review*. We particularly *e ncourage submissions from underrepresented groups* . The proposals should be suitable for a 35-40 min ute presentation. The conference is intended to be in-person.
