+This is a biannual symposium organised by the study association for physics, astronomy, mathematics and computer science in Leiden, De Leidsche Flesch. At this symposium, this time held on account of the 100th year anniversary of the association, more than ten speakers from all fields of science will tell us all about the field of interest. At Scheltema in Leiden we will experience a day full of talks, science and curiosity.
+Time is something we encounter everyday and that influences our lives in the most fundamental way. At the same time it is some of the most mysterious aspects of life. “What is time?” is a question that might drive you insane, if you think really hard about it. Nevertheless, besides philosophical and metaphysical questions we can also study time and its effects on everything around us. What role does time play in mathematics? Can we capture time in a physical model? How is time perceived? We hope the speakers of the symposium can give us a little insight into what the answers to these and a lot of other questions might be.
+The De Leidsche Flesch symposium is an initiative of De Leidsche Flesch, the study association for physics, astronomy, mathematics and computer science at Leiden University. The association organises a lot of activities for students ranging from drinks and pub quizzes, to lunch lectures and study trips. This symposium is also held on the account of a special occasion, the 100th year anniversary of the association: a real milestone in the existence of De Leidsche Flesch, which played an important role in the atmosphere of education in science in Leiden. The symposium has a goal: spark an interest in scientific fields that are related to the field of study, or work, of its visitors, while at the same time broaden their horizon. With this initiative we want to speak to people from across the faculty, different universities and other associations.

+ The day of our symposium is divided into two tracks: a mathematics and computer science focused track; and a physics and astronomy focused track. However, there are lectures that both tracks have together. Walk-in starts at 9:30 and the first lecture starts at 10:00. The day will be completed with a joint lecture that ends at 17:00. After a long day of lectures there is a possibility to move back with us to “our” Snellius where dinner will be served, and where we can talk the day through while enjoying something to drink and eat.

+ In 1983 she obtained her PhD in theoretical physics from the university of Vienna. She went to work as a member of the interdisciplinary research team at CERN that analysed the societal, political and scientific aspect of this huge European collaboration. In 1988 Ulrike Felt returned to Vienna, to the Helga Nowotny Institute of Philosophy of Science and Science Research. About ten years later she received her habilitation in Sociology of Science.
+
+ Prof. dr. Felt is very involved in societal discussion about the role of science and technology in the contemporary world. On top of that, she is active in the field of European and Austrian policy advice.
+
+ Prof. dr. Ulrike Felt will be a speaker for both tracks.

After obtaining his PhD from the City University in London, he started specialising in computational modelling music cognition. He was granted a Distinguished NIAS Lorentz fellowship for his work. In 2014 he became full professor at the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation in Amsterdam. Moreover, he was elected to be a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
+
+ Beside lots of scientific publications, he has also published several books for the general public. In “Aap slaat maat. Op zoek naar de oorsprong van muzikaliteit bij mens en dier.” he points out surprising insights in the musicality of animals.
+
+ Prof. dr. Henkjan Honing will be a speaker of the mathematics and computer science track.
+
After his PhD in Leiden he worked as a postdoc at the renowned Centre of Mathematical Biology in Oxford. After postdoctoral research in Edinburgh and being a Humboldt Research Fellow in Heidelberg he returned to Leiden, where he is currently an assistant professor.
+
+ At the moment he is mainly occupied with research in mathematical biology, an exciting interface of applied analysis and theoretical biology. With his expertise he is a suitable speaker for this event and a great addition to the other ones that we will announce in the coming weeks.
+
+ Dr. Frits Veerman will be a speaker of the Mathematics and Computer Science track.

Over the last couple of decades financial institutions have seen quite some changes, from new regulations to global and internal crises ING has been through it all.
+
Together with around 60,000 employees worldwide we have served more than 38 million clients in 40 countries globally. In order to keep providing the best services and products to our clients we are constantly innovating our systems, models, and processes. Subsequently, we are leaders in innovation and digitalisation.
+
Not only do we want to be leaders in innovation and digitalisation we also need to keep improving our systems each day. Due to the unpredictable world environmental regulations keep on changing and ING needs to stay compliant. Therefore systems need to be redesigned or completely developed from scratch. Although Financial Risk Management has seen many changes throughout the years, the financial institutions are not out of the heat.
+
So how do we stay ahead and more importantly, how do we make sure that we are compliant? Three teams, model development, model validation, and COO Risk will deep dive into these topics.
After a PhD in applied physics he worked at the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht that focuses on developmental biology and stem cells. Since 2003 Fons Verbeek has worked at the Leiden Institute for Advanced Computer Science (LIACS). In the meanwhile he has been a visiting professor of Bio-Manguinhos/Fiocruz (a biomedical institute that does research and produces vaccines).
+
+ In his research machine learning and artificial intelligence are of great importance. Moreover, in his research projects the subject of Human Computer Interaction is often addressed.
+
+ Prof. dr. Fons Verbeek will be a speaker in the Mathematics and Computer Science track.
