The conference will include major keynote speakers such as Nobel laureate William Phillips, Gerald Gabrielse (George Vasmer Leverett Professor of Physics, Harvard University), and Alvin Plantinga (John A. O’Brien Professor of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame). It will also include presentations by other Chinese and Western scholars. This is the culminating conference of a three-year program for Chinese scholars, Science, Philosophy & Belief.

The evening, keynote sessions, June 16-18, are free and open to the public. Keynote sessions will be delivered in English with simultaneous translation into Chinese. Registration is not required for the evening sessions.
