Following on from the success of the first school in 2015, the 2nd
Indian Winter School on Diagrams will bring together graduate students
and early career researchers with interests in diagrams research,
although participation from all researchers, regardless of career
stage, is welcomed. The week-long school will provide accessible
courses on the state-of-the-art in diagrams research, covering three
main themes: diagrammatic logics, philosophical and historical
developments, and empirical research. Courses will be delivered by
internationally renowned experts and will have an emphasis on
interactivity.

prerequisite knowledge can be found here:

The
registration fee is Rs1000 for Indian participants, and Rs5000
(approximately $77USD, or ?66 euros) for overseas participants.
*Aims*
The School aims to enable delegates to begin
research into diagrams by introducing them to current research and
through thought-provoking exchanges and discussions. The experienced
facilitators will tease out research questions that are appropriate
for early-stage researchers to tackle, providing a starting point for
a research career in the study of logical diagrams. Delegates will be
encouraged to identify collaboration opportunities both with other
delegates and the course facilitators.
*Outcomes*
It is expected that delegates who attend the winter school
will become equipped to identify research questions in the diagrams
field and be knowledgeable of current research endeavours. The School
will also provide opportunities for participants to present their own
work and engage in one-on-one discussion sessions with the expert
facilitators to identify suitable research contributions that match
their skills and interests.
*Venue*
The 2nd Indian Winter School on Diagrams is hosted by the
School of Cognitive Science at Jadavpur University, located in
Kolkata. Kolkata is a vibrant city, located on the Hooghly river which
is a large distributary of the famous Ganges river. The state capital
of West Bengal, Kolkata is home to over 14 million people. It is one
of the most affluent cities in south Asia, measured by GDP. It has an
ethnically diverse culture and numerous site-seeing attractions,
including several beautiful temples, the Victoria Memorial, the Indian
Museum, Marble Palace, and botanical gardens. It is an excellent place
to experience Indian culture and cuisine. The Winter School takes
place immediately after the Kolkata Book Fair, the biggest non-trade
book fair in the world. During February, Kolkata has a warm climate
with an average temperature of 23oC.
