The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLPS) of the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will host its fifth Masterclass in the
Philosophy of Mathematical Practices on June, 21-23 with Jean Paul
Van Bendegem (CLPS, VUB).
We intend the masterclass to be a fully interactive in person
event, with the twofold objective to understand in depth the
materials presented in the lectures, and to provide early career
researchers (PhD students and postdocs) with an opportunity to
discuss their ongoing work in a helpful and constructive
environment. The lectures by Jean Paul Van Bendegem will take
place in the mornings, and will be followed by afternoon sessions
with presentations by early career researchers in the Philosophy
of Mathematical Practices. The exact titles of the lectures will
be communicated at a later stage.

present their work to send us an abstract of at most 250 words by
