Conference on 'Astronomy and civilisation', Budapest, Hungary
10 August 2009 - 10 August 2009
Hungary
A conference entitled 'Astronomy and civilisation' will be held from 10 to 13 August in Budapest, Hungary.
As part of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, the goal of the conference is to call attention to the close ties between astronomy, natural sciences and civilisation. This is because astronomical insights can have profound implications for the development of science, philosophy, culture and the general conception of the universe.
The conference will combine plenary sessions with mini-symposia on research in physics, astrobiology, biosemiotics, complexity and cognitive sciences, as well as on social sciences, art, religion and astronomy.For further information, please visit:
