MetaScience provided the local organisation for the SMS7 conference. Many members of the team presented papers and Tuomas gave the Presidential Address. 

This workshop was in collaboration with two of our favourite projects - David Yates' Emergence in the Natural Sciences and Alastair Wilson's FraMEPhys. The MetaScience talks featured team members past and current. 

For our first foray into online events, MetaScience invited abstracts on the topic of Methodological Issues in the Metaphysics of Science.  

The first of our annual workshops with Al Wilson's FraMEPhys project, held at the Pitt Rivers museum in Oxford.

This event featured presentations from the project PI and our Advisory Board. Listen to Alexander Bird's talk on YouTube.
