Closing Workshop “Norms in Knowledge” project
December 9-10, 2008, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands
In the “Norms in Knowledge” project, philosophical research into the normative dimension in technological knowledge has been done. This project has been funded by NWO, the Dutch organisation for scientific research. On December 9 and 10 the philosophy department in Eindhoven will present the main outcomes of this project.
Information on the project can be found on the project page at the department’s website
We invite those who are interested in the topic to join us for this event. There is no fee for this conference. We offer you the meals during the program, but you will have to cover your own travel and lodging costs. We can advise you on hotels in Eindhoven. Only if the number of people that express their interest becomes too large for us to handle the workshop practically, we will have to disappoint people who sent their expression of interest later than others.
