This conference aims to increase our understanding of the power and limitations of models, their construction and effects in the sciences and in fields of practice. It provides a forum for the discussion of qualitative and quantitative models composed of verbal propositions, numerical abstractions, and visualizations.
While it is beyond doubt that models create instrumental knowledge, the distinctive spatial dimension of models is open to discussion. Of particular interest are issues that cut across established scientific disciplines and analyze the boundaries between science, technology, society, and politics. The conference explicitly aims at bringing scientists and practitioners from outside the academy together.
