Yu. Holovatch, Ya. Hrytsak, B. Novosyalyj (editors). Horizons of science. vol. II: Histories of time. Lviv, UCU Publishing House, 2020, 176 p. ISBN 978-617-7637-22-5 (in Ukrainian).

This book is the second in a series of essays based on lectures given at the monthly seminar "Horizons of Science". The book contains a selection of articles devoted to the topic of time - as understood by various disciplines: astronomy, physics, theology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, linguistics, semiotics, history. The concept of time is difficult to formalize, even within the framework of one discipline. How our present understanding of time was formed and whether a common language between representatives of different sciences is possible while discussing this notion - these and similar questions are being sought by the authors of this book.

All interested persons are cordially welcome.

On May 7-9, 2019 Ising Lectures will take place at the Conference Hall of the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics. Ising Lectures is an annual workshop on complex systems, phase transitions and critical phenomena orientated mostly towards young scientists.
For more details, please, visit the web page of the workshop.
Anyone interested is welcome.

The 19th Workshop will take place in Lviv at the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics on June 13–14, 2019. Its program will include invited lectures of top experts in statistical physics and condensed matter theory from Ukraine, short communications of young researchers and contributed talks of Competition applicants. The 19th Workshop is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Lviv Department for Statistical Theory of Condensed States of the Institute for Theoretical Physics (May 1969), which gave origin to the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics.
