Ever since Lewis' celebrated possible worlds account\, counterfactuals have \;been deeply involved with the notion of time. These days there are \;alternative formulations of the semantics of counterfactuals\, some of which \;focus on the complex role of probabilities (Leitgeb) and of formal \;branching-time models of indeterminism (Mueller). \;The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers \;interested in the role of time in the formal treatment of counterfactuals.
