In this final 3 day conference, the entire MetaScience team past and  present will discuss the results of their work on the 5 year research  project funded by the European Research Council (No 771509).

The  event will feature an overview of the project by our PI Tuomas Tahko and  then talks from the project members and the project advisory board on  the unity and metaphysics of science.

There will be talks from Tuomas Tahko, Toby Friend, Sam Kimpton-Nye, Will  Morgan, Francesca Bellazzi, Vanessa Seifert, Alexander Franklin, Jessica  Wilson, Alyssa Ney, Robin Hendry, Alexander Bird.

The conference is on the themes of the forthcoming book Dispositions and Powers, part of the Cambridge Elements Series in Metaphysics (ed.  Tuomas Tahko) authored by Toby Friend and Samuel Kimpton-Nye. 

This workshop illuminates the discussion about the role and nature of kinds in the sciences, across the sciences, and beyond.  

This 3-day Zoom conference featured wide-ranging talks concerning the topic of Realisation and Composition across the Sciences.  

The FOMoS workshop sought to find new ways to apply work on ontological categories and formal ontological relations to case studies from the metaphysics of science.

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

Organised jointly with Rutgers-Newark. Local organizer: Ken Aizawa. Talks and discussion on The Metaphysical Unity of Science.
