Measurement at the Crossroads 2020 - Measuring and modeling is an interdisciplinary conference that explores the philosophy and history of measurement. It aims at consolidating and developing the study of these topics, following the conferences in Bielefeld (2013), Cambridge (2015), and Paris (2018). It will bring together philosophers, historians, sociologists, and metrologists to address questions related to measurement across disciplines ranging from the natural sciences to the life and human sciences.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference had to be postponed to the summer of 2022. It will be held at the Catholic University of Milan, Italy, 29 June - 1 July 2022.
Information about the format: the conference is planned to be in presence. We remain uncertain about the possibility of online sessions.
This is a second call for abstracts. The proposals submitted to the first call and that were already accepted and then confirmed by the proposers do not need to be resubmitted here.
Opening event for the Society for the study of measurement: The conference is expected to host the opening event for a future Society for the study of measurement, whose premises were laid in the margins of Mary Morgan's presentation on September 30th.
