14th European Skeptics Congress

This September the Hungarian Skeptic Society is organizing the 14th European Skeptics Congress in Budapest. Promotion had just started and we are at the final steps to launch registration. Knowing the financial possibilities of the potential participants from this region, we are making special efforts to find sponsors to set up an affordable registration fee. It seems we will have a standard fee and also special fee for students and for the unemployed.

Anyhow we proceed and you can find more and more information about the program and venue on the congress web pages. Also, please visit the congress’ Facebook event page where you can indicate if you could participate or not. This is not an official registration and you can change your indication at any time on that page, but it is informative for us. Also it provides an online forum for you to discuss the relevant topics in advance. As you will see from my reasoning below, this would be extremely beneficial for the outcome of the congress. We are still accepting lecture proposals. If you are interested, please visit the Call for Papers page.



Victory for Simon Singh

UPDATE (April 17, 2010): after reviewing the ruling, the BCA issued a notice of discontinuance. There will likely be a further court hearing to decide on how costs are to be awarded, but other than that the case is over. The seniority of the judges who heard the appeal means that the case sets a precedent for future libel cases concerning scientific criticism.
