=== Please circulate. Apologies for any cross postings ===

It is our pleasure to announce the forthcoming workshop titled 
"Ouroboros: Formal Criteria of Self-Reference in Mathematics and 
Philosophy", to be held at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the 
University of Bonn from the 16th to the 18th of February 2018. While 
self-reference is deeply intertwined with logic and foundational aspects 
of mathematics, the notion itself is still surprisingly barely 
understood. For instance, it can be observed that in discussions 
regarding the nature of Visser’s and Yablo's paradoxes, often differing 
and vague concepts are applied. However, there has been recently several 
proposals of precise characterizations of self-reference. This workshop 
is intended to facilitate a discussion of such proposals, their 
interrelations and applicability to the paradoxes as well as their 
adequacy to capture the intuitive notion of self-reference.

This interdisciplinary workshop, designed as a hybrid between winter 
school and research conference, is aimed at students (incl. PhDs) and 
researchers from the fields of mathematics, philosophy and computer science.
