MODEL TRANSFER ERC Project

The ERC-funded MODEL TRANSFER will provide a comprehensive philosophical investigation of the phenomenon of #ModelTransfer, its challenges, and its implications for scientific progress by combining approaches from philosophy and the history of science with computational methods.

The MODEL TRANSFER team has decided to keep this account inactive until further notice as we focus our efforts on project activities over on Bluesky. Follow us here: bsky.app/profile/modelt…

🎤 Presenting at inspiring workshops & conferences (in the coming months: in Nice, Vienna, Erlangen, California) 💡 Organizing our events with the focus on digital methods in the history & philosophy of economics #ERCStGr @ERC_Research

Happy New Year from #ModelTransfer! In 2025, we’re looking forward to: 🤝 Collaborating with amazing people 🎓 Welcoming new team members 📄 Publishing new papers (some already accepted!) 📚 Continuing our Digital Methods Reading Group

We wrapped up the year at Hannover’s Christmas market✨🎄 2024 was crucial for advancing the methodological and conceptual basis of our research. In 2025, we’ll build on this progress, share findings & welcome new team members. Stay tuned! #ModelTransfer #ERCStGr @ERC_Research

Today in our Digital Methods group we discussed data cleaning strategies in DH based on code examples and notes provided by @EugenioPetrovi1! It was an extremely interesting session with many practical takeaways and we are very grateful to Eugenio for sharing his experience. 👇

The issue also features fascinating papers on various problems related to the use of computer simulations by @_SethBullock_, @AlisaBokulich, Johannes Lenhard, Eckhart Arnold, Otávio Bueno, and Claus Beisbart.

Tarja Knuuttila and Andrea Loettgers argue that model templates, understood as abstract conceptual ideas associated with particular mathematical forms and computational methods, are crucial for the intra- and interdisciplinary transfer of models.

News! 📢📢📢 #hes2025 The History of Economics Society will hold its 52nd annual meeting from June 27 to 30, 2025 at the University of Richmond in Richmond, VA.

Come hang with us, y’all! A fantastic environment for both junior and senior scholars doing research on the history of economics. And, of course, the terrific bbq in the area! hope.econ.duke.edu/fellowships

We're excited to announce the CfA for our upcoming INEM conference in Bayreuth, Germany, taking place from September 17–19, 2025. All relevant information, including the call for submissions, can be found here: phil.uni-bayreuth.de/en/events/Work…

🔥Meet the #ModelTransfer team (@ERC_Research #ERCStGr): Anni Bukowski has been working on the project as a student assistant since 2023, performing administrative tasks. She is interested in epistemology, philosophy of probability and decision theory. model-transfer.uni-hannover.de/de/team/anni-b…

NEW RESEARCH: The @ERC_Research requires reflecting our methodology of comp methods. In 2 papers, one with @MalteDoehne for A Currie & @Dr_inPhieVeigl Phil of Sci: A Users Guide & one in Synthese for Pence&Rivelli's collection Digital Studies of Digital Science, we do just that.
