International conference Large-Scale Experiments Reflecting on Theories and
Practices
2nd International Conference of the Research Unit The Epistemology of the
LHC
Date: December 8-10, 2022
Venue: TRIANGEL Open Space, Karlsruhe, Germany
Submission deadline: September 15, 2022
Contact: elhcconference@uni-wuppertal.de
Website: https://www.lhc-epistemologie.uni-wuppertal.de/lse
The conference will be held in hybrid mode (in-person and online
participation).
Large-scale experiments play an increasingly important role in the sciences.
Large collaborations in particle and gravitational-wave physics, large numbers
of research participants in clinical trials, large-scale technologies such as
telescopes and detectors, extensively distributed research tasks in climate
science, or long-term research projects can all be understood as instances of
large-scale research.
The conference aims to bring together researchers from the sciences as well as
from history, philosophy, social studies of science, and neighboring
disciplines to explore the scope and understanding of large-scale research and
experimentation across the sciences, focusing both on theories that underpin
it and practices it consists of. The conference will comprise invited talks,
contributed papers, and symposia focusing on the following topics:
Going Large: the Bigger the Riskier? Epistemic Risks in Large Scientific
Research
Large-Scale Experiments vs. Large-Scale Observations
Creativity and Constraints in Large-Scale Collaboration
Theoretical Expectations and Large Experiments
Big Science and Democracy
Histories of Large Experiments and their Methodological Challenges
The registration for the conference is open on the webpage. There is no
registration fee.
We invite interested speakers to submit an abstract of 500 words by September
15, 2022, via the conference webpage
