Join us for LAB42's first-year anniversary celebration where we'll raise a toast to the remarkable year gone by and the promising years ahead! We're celebrating on October 5th, from 16:00 to 18:00, right here at LAB42. The agenda for the event features a warm welcome by Marcel Worring, brief introductions showcasing the innovative work of four of our esteemed LAB42 residents, and the opportunity to mingle and connect with fellow LAB42 residents. Let's make this celebration memorable!

On behalf of the Philosophy Department at VU and the English Literature Department at UvA, in collaboration with the venue Spui25, we cordially invite all of our interested colleagues and students to an evening with Dr. Mark Rowe, who has just published the first full-length biography of the celebrated ordinary-language philosopher, J.L. Austin. The book reveals the true complexity of Austin's character and the full range and significance of his achievements, including his lesser-known role in planning the D-Day landings. The biography has received stellar reviews, including the most recent one by Thomas Nagel in the London Review of Books.

On Saturday 7 October, the open day at the Amsterdam Science Park will take place as part of the Weekend of Science (Weekend van de Wetenschap). Companies and research institutes at the Science Park will open their doors to interested parties.

At the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science and other locations, visitors can attend guided tours, workshops and demonstrations. Learn more about cosmic wave research and what happened immediately after the Big Bang, or discover what cells your body is made of! This event can be visited by young and old alike free of charge, no registration is necessary. 

In Fall 2023, a new causality seminar will start, co-organized by Sara Magliacane, Joris Mooij and Stéphanie van der Pas.

The aim of the seminar is to bring together researchers in causal inference from the VU, UvA, Amsterdam UMC and CWI, but the seminar is open to everyone.

We plan to organize 4 events per year, where each event consists of two scientific talks and a networking event with drinks afterwards.

It is with a lot of excitement that I am advertising a workshop that will take place in Amsterdam on the 12th of October. The workshop is organised to celebrate my PhD defence that will take place the following day. It will be a one-day workshop with 5 speakers and a panel discussion about participatory budgeting and related topics. The workshop is free of charge and open to everyone. You just need to fill in a registration form.

Phi-Math is starting up again!

The reading group in the philosophy of mathematics is back and we hold the first meeting on the 12th of October. The topic will be Higher-Order Logic. We will base the discussion around Stewart Shapiro's chapter Higher-order logic in the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic.

All students (and faculty) from all backgrounds are welcome to join. Please bring your own thoughts and ideas on the topic if you have any! For more information and location, see the website https://sites.google.com/view/phi-math/home.

With regular meetings, the UvA wide research community Responsible Digital Transformations (RDT) aims to create a space for interfaculty encounters and conversations. RDT gives a podium to UvA groups to present their research, their methodologies, or open questions to the RDT community. At this month's event, Regina Nockerts and Diliara Valeeva will speak about the Computational Social Science (CSSci) Bachelor's programme.

The Algebras, Categories and Models Reading Group (formerly the Categorical Model Theory Reading Group) is organised bi-weekly by PhD Students at the ILLC, and is geared towards discussing the interactions between these areas.

VvL Essentials talks are high-level introductory talks, that introduce early-career logicians to a field they may not be familiar with. This forms a low-threshold way to broaden their own specific research area and encourages collaborations. The talks will be hosted by different universities within the Netherlands, and they will have a hybrid format - for those who attend in person, drinks and snacks will be provided afterwards!

The very first edition of VvL Essentials is organized by Rodrigo Almeida (PhD student at the ILLC) and Giovanni Varricchione (PhD student at Utrecht University).

This symposium consists of two lectures, given by Dr. Christoph Finkensiep (Music Cognition Group, UvA) and Prof. Dr. Frank Scherbaum (SeismoSoundScape-Lab, Univ. Potsdam), on computational modelling of polyphonic music, preceded by an introduction by Prof. dr. Julia Kursell (UvA). The symposium is part of a four-days event in honor of the eminent musicologist Prof. dr. h.c. Simha Arom (Paris), director emeritus at the CNRS, whose work on polyrhythm and polyphony has opened up new perspectives on the notation as well as the cognitive and computational modelling of music. The lectures will highlight Arom's work on Georgian polyphonic singing (Scherbaum) and embed it in the history and current state of research music and AI.

Entrance is free, but registration is required via j.j.e.kursell at uva.nl.

We kick off the DaDriH series on the 27th of October 14:00-15:30 with Chiara Latronico, who will share her experience gathered in the Golden Agents project.

The Nordic Online Logic Seminar (NOL Seminar) is organised monthly over Zoom, with expository talks on topics of interest for the broader logic community. The seminar is open for professional or aspiring logicians and logic aficionados worldwide. This is the announcement for the next talk. Those who wish to receive the Zoom ID and password for it, as well as further announcements, can subscribe here: https://listserv.gu.se/sympa/subscribe/nordiclogic.
