*Ouroboros: Formal Criteria of Self-Reference in Mathematics and Philosophy* Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, Bonn (Germany) | February 16-18, 2018 === Please circulate. Apologies for any cross postings === It is our pleasure to announce the forthcoming workshop titled "Ouroboros: Formal Criteria of Self-Reference in Mathematics and Philosophy", to be held at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the University of Bonn from the 16th to the 18th of February 2018. While self-reference is deeply intertwined with logic and foundational aspects of mathematics, the notion itself is still surprisingly barely understood. For instance, it can be observed that in discussions regarding the nature of Visser?s and Yablo's paradoxes, often differing and vague concepts are applied. However, there has been recently several proposals of precise characterizations of self-reference. This workshop is intended to facilitate a discussion of such proposals, their interrelations and applicability to the paradoxes as well as their adequacy to capture the intuitive notion of self-reference. This interdisciplinary workshop, designed as a hybrid between winter school and research conference, is aimed at students (incl. PhDs) and researchers from the fields of mathematics, philosophy and computer science. *Speakers:* Elke Brendel (University of Bonn) Andrea Cantini (University of Florence) Micha?
