2nd CFA: ‘Cosmology Beyond Spacetime’ Summer Institute, 26 June – 1 July 2022
2nd Call for Applications:
International Summer Institute in Philosophy of Physics on the PHILOSOPHY OF COSMOLOGY and the PHILOSOPHY OF QUANTUM GRAVITY
Hosted by the University of Geneva-University of Illinois at Chicago Cosmology Beyond Spacetime project
Hotel Le Crêt, Morzine, France
26 June – 2 July 2022

In recent years, the philosophy of quantum gravity and the philosophy of cosmology have emerged as new fields in their own right, with several summer schools dedicated to each. However, they remain largely unconnected, even though their intersection promises new scientific insights of great significance to philosophical question and the advancement of physics. This Summer Institute proposes to address conceptual, metaphysical, and epistemological implications of big bang, black hole, and multiverse models in quantum gravity: the fundamental nature of space and time, especially the beginning of spacetime, ‘before’ time or ‘outside’ space; the multiverse; the nature of physical law; and how we might have knowledge of such things.
These are just some of the questions that we will discuss in this Summer Institute, which addresses graduate students and postdocs from philosophy of physics and related fields.

Early Career Summer Seminar Retreat
August 17 to 21, 2022
Description
Recent work on the interconnections between formal epistemology and foundations of quantum mechanics has prompted exciting developments on important philosophical questions. For example:
- Are there objective probabilities in quantum theories? If so, what grounds them?
- Might all the probabilities in quantum theory be subjective, the partial beliefs of an agent?
- Are there compelling justifications for partial beliefs about quantum systems that do not depend on a particular solution to the measurement problem?
- What implications does quantum theory have for the belief structure of rational agents and vice versa?
This retreat gathers early-career scholars working on these or closely related questions.
