Workshop « Possibility and Necessity in Science »
mai 8-mai 10
Necessity and Possibility in Science is the theme of the 5th workshop of the OLOFOS group. It will take place on May 8-10 2025 in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) at the Institut supérieur de philosophie (ISP) of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain). Note that any approach to this theme is potentially acceptable. However, contributions about the articulation of necessity and possibility in a scientific discipline will have the preference of the selection committee.
