Breaking the Code is a 1986 play by Hugh Whitemore about the British mathematician Alan Turing whose 100th birthday is being celebrated all over the world during the year 2012 as the Alan Turing Year. Turing, one of the foundational thinkers behind the modern theory of computation, was also a key player in breaking of the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park during World War II. The play thematically links Turing's cryptographic activities with his attempts to grapple with his homosexuality.

The University Players at the Universität Hamburg take their motto of "teaching theatre" very seriously. Under the guidance of experienced actors and directors, new members of the University Players gather practical experience in all areas of the theatre (production, publicity, programs, directing, acting, lighting, sound, costuming, stage design, make-up, etc.). The workshop atmosphere of the University Players has won the group national recognition as a remarkable and unique enterprise.

The University Players will perform Breaking the Code as part of the Alan Turing Year celebrations at the following locations:
14 September 2012: Paderborn, Germany
16 September 2012: Hamburg, Germany
19 September 2012: Braunschweig, Germany
4 October 2012: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
5 October 2012: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
1 November 2012: Almere, The Netherlands

There will be two performances in Amsterdam, one on 4 October, 17:00 in Cafe Oerknal at Science Park Amsterdam which is reserved for students and staff of CWI and FNWI, and the second one on 5 October, 19:30 in the Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam open for everyone.

If you plan to attend the Thursday performance, please note that there is a limited number of places, so reservations are required. Please send an email to info-science at uva.nl stating "play Alan Turing". In this case, also indicate whether you stay for dinner afterwards and if you want to eat vegetarian.
No reservation is required for the Friday performance.

On Friday the 2nd of November, the study-association of Utrecht philosophy-students (FUF) is organizing a symposium on the philosophy of Gottlob Frege. The symposium will start at 11:00 and will take place at the Academiegebouw (Domplein 29, 3512 JE, Utrecht) in the Belle van Zuylenzaal.

Speakers:
- Prof. dr. Wolfgang Künne (University of Hamburg): Frege on that-clauses
- Prof. dr. Göran Sundholm (Leiden University): Frege's sense of sense: lost and gone forever?
- Prof. dr. Albert Visser (Utrecht University): Sinn meets Fiction

The symposium is oriented towards master students and advanced bachelor students, however all are welcome. Attendance is free (and includes coffee/tea). We will be speaking in English throughout the symposium.

If you have any questions or would like to receive abstracts, you can contact Clint Verdonschot at clintverdonschot at gmail.com.

The primary aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers in the Netherlands who work in theoretical philosophy: logic, the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science and technology, epistemology, metaphysics and/or the philosophy of language. With five presentations by prominent researchers, the workshop is meant to give an overview of state-of-the-art research in theoretical philosophy in the Netherlands.

The workshop is inspired by the initiative to start a Netherlands Research School in Philosophy (to be decided within the next weeks). It will be held parallel to the Fourth Annual Dutch Conference on Practical Philosophy, and a Workshop on the History of Philosophy. With these three events, all philosophers working in the Netherlands are invited for a conference or workshop in the Auditorium building on the Eindhoven University of Technology campus on 2 November, with a shared dinner.

The afternoon will start at 13.00 hour with the award ceremony of the Stieltjes Prize for the best Mathematics PhD thesis in the Netherlands followed by a lecture by the prize winner. The prize winner is dr. Jop Briët (CWI) for a thesis defended at UvA, promotor prof. dr. Harry Buhrman (CWI and UvA/ILLC).

During the last decade, it has become clear that network interactions have a much larger role in our lives than had previously been appreciated: social networks have a defining impact on not only consumer choice but are also central in social and political decisions ranging from the political discourse in the blogosphere to the organization and coordination of protests in the Arab spring. Similarly financial networks seem at the heart of the 2008 crash. Network effects are now seen as major elements in other domains with human decisions including healthcare, public health, smart power grids, urban transportation, and more. As a consequence, both businesses and government are increasingly looking to build new types of networks to improve management abilities.

This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from different communities working on information propagation and decision making in social networks to investigate both rigorous models that highlight capabilities and limitations of such networks as well as empirical and simulations studies of how people exchange information, influence each other, make decisions and develop social interactions.

Mathematics and formal reasoning are fundamental building blocks of knowledge, essential for science, technology, policy-making and risk-management. Mathematical practice is a rich phenomenon of human activity, with subtle differences between various cultures: here, the word culture can refer to national cultures, but also cultural differences in different historical periods, in different strata of a given society, in different social settings.

And yet, the public perception of mathematics is of an apersonal subject with little or no human interaction, based on a false picture of a science of pure thought and deduction, with almost no interaction or visible activity.

In a move away from these traditionalist positions, philosophers and social scientists have recently become more interested in studying mathematical and logical practice, or, to be precise, different mathematical and logical practices. Our conference will focus on this plurality of viewpoints, studying the various cultures of mathematics and logic, and involve several disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, cognitive science, history of mathematics, mathematics education, and linguistics.

American philosopher Daniel Dennett (Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University) has addressed two of the major cultural questions of our time, questions that have defined our self-image: Where do we come from and What is consciousness? He has shown that through the power of thinking combined with sheer hard work one can add new insights to the fields of study that these questions traditionally have belonged to, in this case evolutionary biology, neurobiology and psychology. Dennett addresses philosophical questions with tools derived from the Life Sciences. The new insights that he has developed are challenging and considered groundbreaking among the experts. However, they are also highly accessible to a wider academic readership.

This symposium offers a select group of PhD students an opportunity to enter into discussion with Daniel Dennett on a range of philosophical topics. The idea is that questions to Dennett should be inspired by on-going PhD work of the students. Deadline for applications: Tuesday 1 May 2012
