Agency and (quantum) physics

undefined

How can there be agency in a world governed, at all scales, by the laws of physics? This project tackles our understanding of agency by following a multidisciplinary approach, and brings together experienced researchers in quantum physics and philosophy, connecting these disciplines, while retaining a high degree of disciplinary embedding.
