Rhythms and Cycles (2023)
Rhythms and cycles
Everywhere time flows, time is ordered, time is organised.
The conference programme proposes to explore the « forms of time » which are à lœuvre in scientific research, whether’They are inherent in the phenomena observed or are the result of our efforts at intelligibility. Graduations, circumnavigations, generations, cycles, rhythms, periods, phases, evolution: the morphology of duration is infinitely varied for all those who scrutinise physical, biological and human phenomena.
