SUMMARY:Workshop 'Informal Aspects of Uncertainty 
 Evaluation', Cambridge, England
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160520
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160520
LOCATION:Cambridge, England
DESCRIPTION:Philosophers of science have studied s
 cientific uncertainty from the viewpoint of formal
  probabilistic frameworks, such as classical proba
 bility theory and Bayesianism. It is not always cl
 ear how to apply such formal tools to cases of unc
 ertainty evaluation encountered in scientific prac
 tice. This one-day workshop will be dedicated to a
  critical examination of informal practices of unc
 ertainty evaluation in metrology, climate science,
  particle physics and computer science, with the a
 im of clarifying whether and why certain kinds of 
 uncertainty resist formalization. This workshop wi
 ll also serve as the concluding event of the Econo
 mies of Uncertainty project, funded by a Marie Cur
 ie Intra-European Fellowship within the 7th Europe
 an Community Framework Programme.    Speakers will
  be: Fabien Grégis (Paris 7), Phil Maguire (NUI Ma
 ynooth), Luca Mari (LIUC Italy), Wendy Parker (Dur
 ham), Lenny Smith (LSE and Oxford), Kent Staley (S
 aint Louis) and Eran Tal (Cambridge).   For additi
 onal details on this event, please visit the works
 hop website: http://people.ds.cam.ac.uk/et382/even

 academic community and no registration is required
 . However, if you plan to attend please email the 
 organizer, Dr. Eran Tal (et382 at cam.ac.uk) by Fr
