  • (New) 9 November 2026, Philosophy of Mathematics (Φ-Math) Reading Group

    Date & Time: Monday 9 November 2026, 17:30-19:00
    Title: Silviu-Constantin Federovici | From Genesis to Normativity in Brouwers Intuitionism
    Location: ILLC Seminar room F1.15, Science Park 107, Amsterdam

    For the second session of the year, we are pleased to invite a speaker who is currently a Junior Fellow at the Descartes Centre, Utrecht University. Silviu’s talk will be on Intuitionism – a topic we decided on based on popular vote last session. See below for details of the talk.

    Speaker: Silviu-Constantin Federovici
    Affliation: Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Romania

    Intuitionism is considered a systematic challenge to certain classical principles of mathematics, yet its viability as a substitute remains widely contested (e.g., Tait 1983).

  • 25 November 2026, Bèta in Bestuur & Beleid (BiBB) Carrièredag

    Date: Wednesday 25 November 2026
    Location: Sociëteit de Witte, Plein 24, 2511CS Den Haag [NL]
    Target audience: Postdocs, PhD candidates and Master students with engineering or technical background
    Costs: EUR 25 (limited attendance)

    Note: Due to the close connection to Dutch government and administration agencies, the Career day is mainly in Dutch. However, it is possible to ask your questions in English.

    Dutch: Tijdens deze dag verkennen we hoe bèta’s kunnen bijdragen aan bestuur, beleid en politiek. Grote maatschappelijke vraagstukken, van klimaat en energie tot digitalisering, gezondheid en veiligheid, vragen om mensen die complexe systemen begrijpen én deze kennis kunnen vertalen naar bestuurlijke en politieke keuzes. Je krijgt concrete handvatten om jouw volgende stap richting bestuur, beleid of politiek te verkennen.

    English: During this event, we’ll explore how science and engineering graduates can contribute to governance, policy, and politics. Major societal challenges—from climate and energy to digitalization, health, and safety—require people who understand complex systems and can translate that knowledge into administrative and political decisions. You’ll gain practical guidance to help you explore your next step toward a career in governance, policy, or politics.
