1st HPP-NL Workshop

Opening Speech of HPP-NL Workshop, by Niels Martens

History & philosophy of physics (HPP) in the Netherlands has been growing suddenly and enormously over the past year. In order to celebrate this and promote closer collaboration between the multitude of scholars, we are organising a full-day workshop on Friday the 1st of December 2023 at the Utrecht Science Park. All professors, lecturers and postdocs working within the field of HPP are invited to present their research. PhDs and students are welcome to attend the event. Registration has now closed.

The schedule consists of three parts:

  1. Pitch festival: everyone introduces themselves and their current research & research plans in a few slides (8 minutes per staff member/postdoc, 1 min transitions)
  2. Open discussion: seizing this new momentum by discussing opportunities for HPP in the Netherlands as a whole (e.g. rotating monthly seminar, collaborations, a website, summer schools, collective grant proposals, NNV, OZSW, etc.)
  3. Optional dinner downtown.
