MCMP Summer School for Widening Participation in Mathematical Philosophy

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) is organizing the second edition of the “Summer School for Widening Participation in Mathematical Philosophy”, which will take place from 28th July to1st August 2025 in Munich, Germany. 

The summer schoolcontinues a successful tradition,which began in 2014 with eight editions of the summer school on mathematical philosophy for female students and was expanded in 2024 to underrepresented groups. The 2025 “Summer School for Widening Participation in Mathematical Philosophy” is open to women and members of other groups that are under-represented in mathematical philosophy. These groups includeunder-represented gender identities, races and ethnicities, people with disabilities, people from low income and non-academic family backgrounds. The target level is master students and last year-bachelor students. The school's aim is to encourage students to engage with mathematical and scientific approaches to philosophical problems, and thereby help to redress the underepresentation of women and other marginalized groups in mathematical philosophy. It offers the opportunity for study in an informal and interdisciplinary setting, for lively debate, and for the development of a network of students and professors interested in the application of formal methods to philosophy.  

The 2025 edition of the summer school will feature: A lecture seriesby Dr. Francesca Boccuni (University Vita-Salute San Raffaele) on Frege and New Logicism; A second lecture series TBA; An evening lecture by Prof. Alyssa Ney (LMU); Talks on mathematical philosophy by members of the MCMP.

A Call for Participation will be distributed soon
