On Thursday 14th Dec King’s College London will host the second graduate workshop on Philosophy of Physics on behalf of the BBLOC (Bristol-Birmingham-London-Oxford-Cambridge) Group, also open to recent graduates within a year of completion.
The idea is to have a relaxed and friendly day with opportunities to meet other grad students working on similar areas as well as present and get feedback your own work. The workshop will be primarily in person and we expect all speakers to attend in person, however there will be a hybrid option for those who cannot make it and want to listen in. We welcome submissions from students at any stage (Masters students, PhD students, and those who submitted their thesis within the last year), and you do not have to be part of the BBLOC universities to apply. Attendance is open to everyone regardless of career stage!
Submissions for abstracts are closed. Please use the following link to sign up for attendance:
