Social Sciences and Computer Science: A Dialogue Around Data and Tools
3-4 November 2022, CFvW Center
Date: Thursday November 3rd, Friday November 4th
Venue: Hörsaal (2nd floor), Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Center, Doblerstr.33 Tübingen
Join via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/92952164056?pwd=cnQ1K2I4Wk51OFB4b3dqZnVQWVJIUT09
Organizer: Maël Pégny, for the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Center
From the digitalization of pre-existing archives to digitally native material, and going through new software tools to collect and process data, social sciences have been transformed by the digitalization of information. On the other hand, some recent evolutions have brought to computer scientists’ attention questions that used to be typical of social sciences. For instance, recent interrogations on algorithmic fairness, especially in Machine Learning, have underlined the importance of social biases in data, and the possibility to reproduce those bias, and the power imbalances that go with them, via uncritical application of learning techniques.
The aim of this international event is to gather computer and social scientists in order to build up a common language to talk about digital data and its processing, how it changes the practice of social sciences, and how social sciences may contribute to change computer practices.

Where AI Ethics Should Go
30 June - 1 July, CFvW Center, Tübingen
Date: June 30 - July 1 2022
Place: Hörsaal, Doblerstr. 33, Tübingen
The von Weizsäcker Zentrum and the Archives Henri Poincaré and LORIA (University of Lorraine at Nancy) are organizing an interdisciplinary event.
The premise of the event is that the subfield of AI ethics has experienced an explosive expansion in the last couple years, and it is time to take a breather from this frantic rate of expansion to think about the consolidation of the subfield and the directions it should take.
The event will take place in hybrid mode.

An international meeting will be held from 30 May to 2 June 2022 at Cohaus Schlehdorf in Bavaria. The aim of this meeting is to bring together eminent scholars and young researchers active in the foundations of mathematics and computer science. There will be ample opportunity to form ad-hoc groups working on specific projects, but also to discuss in more general terms the vision of extracting computational information from proofs. The participants' expertise will include ordinal analysis, predicative foundations, constructive mathematics, type theory, computation in higher types, proof mining and program extraction from proof.

Workshop: Risk, Responsibility, and Making Sense of Data: Understanding Ways of Knowing in/outside of Anthropology during the Covid-19 Pandemic
23-26 March 2022
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a critical impact across all dimensions of social life. The struggles of life under lockdown, as well as drastic changes to work and care practices, have altered our understandings of what we know, and how we know it. Bringing together anthropologists from across Europe, this working group seeks to understand how we evaluate new forms of risk, and how enduring the persistent risk of the pandemic has shaped possibilities for research and interpersonal relationships. Drawing on the experiences in their respective countries, these scholars will examine debates around vaccination, the struggle to make sense of an onslaught of scientific and epidemiological data, and the ways in which work, care, and solidarity have both contributed and been responsive to these public debates. More broadly, they will consider what the temporality of the pandemic and the consequent limits to socialization have meant for anthropology, which as an investigative discipline is explicitly attuned to the rhythms and interactions of everyday life.
