HumanTech Summit is an event that unites humans and technology with an emphasis on the importance of their harmonious relationship. Our mission is to connect people from different spheres of life and showcase the fact that neither technology without humans nor humans without technology can accomplish as much individually as they can when working together.

CIRM – Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques

Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik

The main topic is the application and development of artificial intelligence for the automatic analysis of handwritten texts and the cryptanalysis of historical encrypted manuscripts.

CIRM – Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques

The objective of this workshop is to study the patrimonialization of mathematics according to three complementary issues, in which quantitative analyses and case-based approaches are combined: 1° patrimonial dynamics and communities; 2° patrimonialization by selection and accumulation: supports, places and actors; 3° patrimonial legitimization and memory of mathematics. It will thus reinforce the understanding of the processes and modalities of the preservation and dissemination of mathematics in the long term, while proposing a methodological reflection on the articulation of the quantitative and qualitative points of view in the history of mathematics.

Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco

We are pleased to announce the first South American Logic Meeting (SALOME 1), to be held in Cusco, Peru. This event will take place from 12th to 15th January 2024 at the National University of Saint Anthony the Abbot in Cuzco (UNSAAC) and will bring together esteemed researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts of logic (broadly understood) from South America and other parts of the world. The South American Logic Society, responsible for the South American Journal of Logic (SAJL), aims to foster collaboration, exchange of ideas, and the advancement of logic in South America. SALOME 1 is an exceptional opportunity to establish a strong foundation for this society and to showcase the collective achievements and potential of the South American logic community.

The Alan Turing Institute

This event will gather up to 12 teams from around the world to engage in a challenge using open spending data, development indicators, and the recently released web-based modelling app from the Policy Priority Inference research programme. The organisers would like to invite anyone interested in the intersection of sustainable development, artificial intelligence, open government, and computational social science to attend this one-of-a-kind event. The opening and closing sessions will be open to the public (no need to have team), while the challenger teams will work on a case study for a week with mentorship facilitated by the organisers.

Institute of Physics (IOP)

Physicists take for granted the universality of the laws of physics - the laws of thermodynamics, gravity and quantum mechanics work just as well in Mumbai as they do in London, and for that matter - we believe - in the Andromeda galaxy. But are there universal laws in biology? Surely, life is too contingent, context dependent, and just too messy to be described simply by the laws of evolution — and just "What is life?" anyway. Tea and coffee will be available from 6 pm in the Lennard-Jones foyer. Talks start at 7 pm and are followed by Q&A.

In the last decade, several studies have raised concerns about a high prevalence of errors in published research. Theoretical arguments have suggested the possibility that the number of false claims in the scientific literature is much higher than desired and reports across fields have subsequently shown that many findings that researchers believed were firmly established failed to replicate. These erroneous claims in the scientific literature raise important issues. From an empirical practitioner’s perspective, errors mislead and slow down research projects. From a philosophical perspective, scientific error raises questions about the right forms of scientific inference, scientific progress, and the reliability of science as a source of knowledge. From the perspective of the general public, scientific error undermines the epistemic authority of science and the degree to which policy-makers trust scientific experts.

The Alan Turing Institute

Hosted by The Alan Turing Institute, AI UK 2024 will be an in-depth exploration of how data science and AI can be used to solve real-world challenges. Our diverse programme has been thematically structured around the latest innovations from across the AI ecosystem. With a broad range of interactive content, expect to hear the latest thinking on foundational AI, digital twins, algorithmic bias, AI ethics – and much more.

It is particularly auspicious for the 25th World Congress of Philosophy to take place in Rome. Few other places would as strikingly illustrate the theme of the Congress, “Philosophy across Boundaries”, as this city does through its unique historical heritage. Rome is not just a spectacular setting: it embodies a distinctive cosmopolitan ideal, the spirit of a civilization that remarkably chose the story of a refugee, Aeneas, drifting on a raft in the Mediterranean to seek asylum on the coast of Latium, as its founding myth.

Philosophy of Mathematics

Pennsylvania State University,

The arena of science and values has grown in size and prominence in recent philosophy of science. But debates about the role of science remain fairly limited in terms of both the scope of topics discussed and the range of views expressed. The aim of this conference is to broaden the horizons of work on science and values, partly by making room for new (or new versions of older) ideas and partly by getting it to interact with other parts of philosophy. In this spirit we invite papers which expand the boundaries of current work in the field, and/or that argue for views that are outside of the current mainstream.
