Geneva-Lausanne Workshop on Philosophy of Physics - Quo Vadis Tempus?

The University of Geneva and the University of Lausanne announce the first “Geneva-Lausanne Workshop on Philosophy of Physics: Quo Vadis Tempus?” to be held at the Faculté des Lettres of the Université de Lausanne (Ampiphole 315.15) in Lausanne, Switzerland, 24-25 May 2023.

Time is probably one of the most mysterious ingredients of the universe. On the one hand, time is unique and elusive. On the other, it seems to be an intrinsic, familiar part of our lives and world. It is then no surprise that philosophers and scientists have found in the nature of time a fertile terrain for philosophical and scientific inquiry. However, the more we dig into the nature of time, the more mysteries emerge.

The first Geneva-Lausanne Workshop addresses, from different perspectives, philosophical problems around the nature of time in philosophy and physics, combining the longstanding tradition of the universities of Geneva and Lausanne in philosophy of physics with the expertise of our three invited speakers: Sam Baron (Australian Catholic University), Tim Koslowski (University of Würzburg), and Antonio Vassallo (Warsaw University of Technology).

The workshop also aims to strengthen the relations between both universities, to promote the interchange of perspectives, and to foster the collaboration with students and researchers out of Switzerland.

In this spirit, everyone is kindly invited to attend the workshop and get involved in the discussions. Attendance is free, but registration is mandatory. If you would like to attend, please visit the registration page on our website.

All information about the workshop is readily available on our website (program,  abstracts, venue, etc.). If you have any question, feel free to send an email to: Cristian.lopez@unil.ch

Organizing committee: Cristian Lopez, Christian Wüthrich, Enrico Cinti, Joshua Babic, and Emilia Margoni.
