Deadline for registration: 27 September 2015

Traditional set theory has been rather inwards-looking for many decades, 
dealing with the difficult and rewarding technical problems that the field 
provided. This has changed in the last decade, and set theorists have been 
eager to see the connections between their work and what is done in other 
fields of mathematics as well as outside of mathematics. Examples are the study 
of infinite games in the social sciences and theoretical computer science, the 
use of strong logics in data base theory, and the use of ideas from infinite 
combinatorial set theory in the design and analysis of efficient computer 
algorithms.

The workshop is the closing workshop of the research programme "Mathematical, 
Foundational and Computational Aspects of the Higher Infinite" at the Isaac 
Newton Institute and is open to all interested researchers. It will highlight 
this network of applications of the higher infinite in mathematics and beyond.

As part of this meeting, we are also celebrating the 50th birthday of one of 
the three programme organisers, Mirna Dzamonja. During one afternoon of the 
workshop (organised together with Jouko Väänänen), we shall have a number of 
talks concerned with her work.

Invited speakers: Dana Bartosova (Sao Paulo), Nathan Bowler (Hamburg), Andrew 
Brooke-Taylor (Bristol), Catrin Campbell-Moore (Cambridge), Merlin Carl 
(Konstanz), Johannes Carmesin (Cambridge), Olivier Finkel (Paris), Martin 
Hyland (Cambridge), Imre Leader (Cambridge), Jordi Lopez-Abad (Madrid), Bob 
Lubarsky (Boca Raton FL), Andrew Marks (Pasadena CA), Benjamin Miller (Vienna), 
Michael Rathjen (Leeds), Jiri Rosicky (Brno), Philippe Schnoebelen (Cachan).

Dzamonja afternoon speakers: István Juhasz (Budapest), Jean Larson (Gainesville 
FL), Menachem Magidor (Jerusalem).
