<p>Dear FISers,</p>
<p>After the Lecture, Many Thanks to Otto, for bringing us that
Curious Story... let us hope that an outcome will be found, as
Jerry stated: "I see this “curious” behavior as a political
problem that can be addressed by seeking a political solution that
respects scientific traditions and hence, to motivate senior CERN
officials to act honorably in the best interests of all."</p>
<p>In next weeks some further discussion might be started, but at
the time being, the slot is empty (any ideas?). In the meantime I
include information about <u>two conferences</u> organized by FIS
parties, one by Krassimir Markov and the other by Marcin
Schroeder, and also about<u> two books</u> from FIS colleagues as
well, Maxine Sheets-Johnstone and Hans von Baeyer.<br>
</p>
<p><b><u>From Krassimir:</u></b> <br>
</p>
I kindly invite everybody to take part in the ITHEA ITA conferences
in Varna, Bulgaria, where there exists the General Information
Theory (GTI) International Conference.<br>
Please see the Call For Papers at the ITHEA web site: <a

<br>
<div>In addition, during ITA 2017 International Summer School on
Informatics (ISSI), also in Varna, a Workshop on the General
Information Theory is planned as well. Two specific FIS meetings
already took place in this Summer School. <br>
</div>
<div>Friendly greetings to all.<br>
<br>
<b><u>From Marcin:</u></b><br>
<br>
This Symposium has as its main goal an exchange of views and
opinions, sharing knowledge and discussion of the methods to
integrate curriculum helping to educate new generations in the
manner propagating a holistic world view. Mathematics and
increased level of abstraction are natural sources of the methods
of unification of knowledge and of curriculum. The concept of
symmetry provides an example of the program of unification of the
methods of inquiry across virtually all disciplines of human
intellectual activity. Whether successful or not, it can serve as
a starting point for the discussion of the curricular reforms. We
invite contributions to the discussion in the form of oral
presentations of relevant papers.<br>
