Date: 6 - 11 June 2022
Location: University of Urbino
Target audience: Students and young researchers
Costs: €70 (in person) or €30 (online)
Deadline: Thursday 24 March 2022

The XXV International Summer School in Philosophy of Physics of the University of Urbino will focus on a crucial topic of research in physics and philosophy: dualities, in particular in their gauge/gravity incarnation, and their philosophical implications.

This topic has manifold ramifications, both for physics and for philosophy, as our speakers will show. The three speakers are professor Jonathan Bain (Department of Technology, Culture and Society/Philosophy Department, NYU), professor Johanna Erdmenger (Physics Department, University of Würzburg), and professor Sebastian De Haro (Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, UvA).

This year, we wish to offer three young researchers interested in Dualities in Physics and Philosophy the opportunity to test their skills by presenting their original papers to the other participants in a dedicated workshop at the end of the school, which will also feature Jeremy Butterfield (Philosophy Department, University of Cambridge) and Baptiste Le Bihan (Philosophy Department, University of Geneva) as senior speakers. Interested graduate students, postgraduates, and early researchers (Ph.D. degree obtained after January 2017) are invited to submit a 1000 words abstract.
