 SUMMER SCHOOL ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF GEOMETRY IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE.
LEIPZIG, 2-7 JULY 2018.

The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig
organizes a Summer School on the Foundations of Geometry in Historical
Perspective. The School deals with a selection of topics in history of
geometry, philosophy of geometry, and the history and the contemporary
perspectives on the foundations of geometry. The School is open to PhD
students writing a dissertation in any of the related field, as well as to
Master Students in their final years who have a strong interest in the
discipline, and post-doctoral researchers who have obtained their PhD since
no more than five years and whose main field of research are the history
and the foundations of geometry.
The School will take place in Leipzig from Monday, the 2nd of July, to
Saturday, the 7th of July, 2018. The six days of the School are dedicated
to an intensive series of lectures and discussions on various aspects of
the history of the foundations of geometry, given by leading experts in the
field:
Andrew Arana (Université Paris Sorbonne),
Vincenzo De Risi (CNRS, Paris),
Jeremy Gray (Open University, Milton Keynes),
Gerhard Heinzmann (Archives Poincaré, Nancy),
Jürgen Jost (MPI MiS, Leipzig),
Victor Pambuccian (Arizona State University, Phoenix).
The organizers of the School will take care of the accommodation of all the
participants in Leipzig, of the morning and afternoon tea/coffee breaks as
well as lunches during the days of the School. Limited funds are available
to cover the travel expenses to Leipzig from abroad. Applications may be
submitted electronically by April 2nd, 2018.
