This workshop aims to bring together scholars working on an array of philosophical questions concerning cutting edge high energy physics. Proposals for contributed talks are invited on any topic within the general area of high energy and particle physics, construed broadly to include cosmology, astrophysics, quantum field theory, and particle physics insofar as they overlap with issues in high-energy physics.
