CAUSALITY STUDY FORTNIGHT
http://www.kent.ac.uk/reasoning/CSF/
8-19 September 2008
CENTRE FOR REASONING
University of Kent, UK
8-9 September: 2 days of tutorials on causality, probability and their use
in science.
10-12 September: a 3-day conference on causality and probability in the
sciences.
15-19 September: a week of advanced research seminars on causality and
probability.
Causal inference is the most important form of reasoning in the sciences.
Different disciplines, from epidemiology to biology, from econometrics to
physics, make use of probability and statistics in order to infer causal
relations. We aim to bring philosophers and scientists together to discuss
the relation between causality and probability, and the applications of
these concepts within the sciences.
In conjunction with the Conference, we plan to have an edited volume on
Causality and Probability in the Sciences.
