Conference presentations, workshops and meetings

 

The Centre was established in October 2002, and is supported by the Australian Research Council and the University of Sydney, under the terms of a Federation Fellowship awarded to Professor Huw Price. The Centre's core research focuses on the role of time and time-asymmetry in the conceptual foundations of modern physics, and on related issues in philosophy, but it hosts conferences, research workshops and lectures on a wide range of philosophical topics. For details of past and future events, and other information about the Centre and its activities, see the Centre's webpages at http://www.usyd.edu.au/time/.

This collection aims to archive and make accessible a range of material from the Centre's research meetings, including audio material, conference slides and texts of presentations.
