== About

The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLPS) of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will host its sixth Masterclass in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practices on June 24–26, 2024  with Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam). We intend the masterclass to be a fully interactive in person event, with the twofold objective to understand in depth the materials presented in the lectures, and to provide early career researchers (PhD students and Postdocs) with an opportunity to discuss their ongoing work in a helpful and constructive environment. This installment of the PMP masterclass series will honor Joachim Frans (1989-2023) who co-organized the masterclass for many years. 

We welcome talks on all topics in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practices. Talks covering Joachim’s area of research, mathematical explanation, or connecting to the work of Catarina Dutilh Novaes, are particularly encouraged.
