The Institute of Advanced Study and the Institute of Data Science are hosting this workshop in May on the topic of ‘Computer Models, Simulations, Data, and Reality’.
Cosin's Hall
We are lucky to be hosting Prof Eric Winsberg, a philosopher from the University of South Florida, in Durham the week of 2nd – 5th May. We will be running a week of activities with him around the topic of modelling (in all its forms) with the aim to have a broad, interdisciplinary discussion around the link between models and reality.
The workshops will be open to all in Durham.
