Janneke Huitink is a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical philosophy at the University of Groningen. In 2008, she obtained her PhD in Philosophy from the Radboud University Nijmegen, with a thesis on the compositional interaction between modal expressions and conditionals. Since then, she joined the institute for linguistics at the Goethe-University Frankfurt, where she got interested in the psychology of reasoning. Together with David Over and Shira Elqayam, she worked in the EURO XPRAG project "Iterated conditionals. As ordinary as can be?".

Jan-Willem Romeijn is an assistant professor at the Philosophy Faculty of the University of Groningen. He obtained degrees cum laude in both physics and philosophy, worked as a financial mathematician, won an individual PhD-grant from NWO in 2000, and received his doctorate cum laude from the University of Groningen in 2005. Before he received a postdoc grant in 2007, he lectured statistics and philosophy of science at the Psychology Department of the University of Amsterdam. His research interests include scientific method, the foundations of statistics, inductive logic, and causal modelling.

Allard Tamminga is lecturer in theoretical philosophy at the University of Groningen. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2001 from the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation of the University of Amsterdam. Later on, he was lecturer in artificial intelligence at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Since 2003 he works in Groningen. He worked on logics of belief revision and their embedding in pragmatist epistemology, on paraconsistent logics, on the history of twentieth-century philosophy of mind, and on multi-agent deontic logic.

Sylvia Wenmackers is a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical philosophy at the University of Groningen. In 2008, she obtained a Ph.D. in Physics for the optical characterisation of diamond-based DNA sensors (Hasselt University). She joined the Formal Epistemology Project in December 2009 to work on the foundations and epistemology of probability theory. In 2011, she obtained her Ph.D. in Philosophy (cum laude, promoter: Igor Douven, University of Groningen).

Jeanne Peijnenburg is professor of philosophy at the University of Groningen. She has worked in the theory of action (considering the problem of akrasia and the question whether what is done is done). She has also written papers on thought experiments and on the philosophy or Reichenbach. At present she is interested in infinite regresses and probabilistic epistemic chains. Here you can see her enjoying coffee at Onan’s place in Leuven.
