Celebrating and commemorating Main con­tent Con­fer­ence on Er­win Engeler’s 90th birth­day and Ernst Specker’s cen­ten­ary 21–22 Feb­ru­ary 2020

ETH Zürich, HG G 19.1

In Feb­ru­ary 2020 will be Ernst Specker’s cen­ten­ary and Er­win Engeler’s 90th birth­day. The An­nual Meet­ing 2020 of the Swiss So­ci­ety for Lo­gic and Philo­sophy of Sci­ence will cel­eb­rate these two great and big birth­days. Suc­ceed­ing Paul Bernays, these two prom­in­ent sci­ent­ists from Zurich had a sus­tain­able im­pact on math­em­at­ical lo­gic and its re­la­tion to philo­sophy and in­form­at­ics in the second half of the 20th cen­tury.

The goal of the con­fer­ence is to re­call the work of those two great Swiss lo­gi­cians and to point to its con­tinu­ing sig­ni­fic­ance and ef­fect­ive­ness. As this work is at the in­ter­face between math­em­at­ics, lo­gic, philo­sophy, in­form­at­ics and phys­ics, the con­fer­ence will be of spe­cial in­terest for re­search­ers and stu­dents in those dif­fer­ent sci­entific dis­cip­lines.

This con­fer­ence is sup­por­ted by the Swiss Academy of Sci­ences as well as by the Swiss Math­em­at­ical So­ci­ety. Or­gan­izers
