Andrea Sereni is Associate Professor in Epistemology and Philosophy of Mathematics at the Institute of Advanced Studies (IUSS) in Pavia. He was a Lecturer at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy, where he still teaches. He obtained his PhD at Bologna University and was a visiting scholar at the Arche Centre (St.Andrews, Scotland), MCMP Munich, and University of Oslo. His teaching, research and publications cover issues in the philosophy of mathematics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language. He is co-author, with M. Panza, of Plato's Problem, An Introduction to Mathematical Platonism (Palgrave, 2013) and co-editor (with F. Pataut and D. Molinini) of Synthese special issue Indispensability and Explanation. He is member of COGITO, CRESA and NeTS research centres, and coordinator of the promoting committee of the Italian Network for the Philosophy of Mathematics (FilMat). Francesca Boccuni is a Lecturer in Logic and Philosophy of Logic and Science at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy. She was a visiting scholar at the University of Oxford, Institute Jean Nicod - CNRS (Paris), Ohio State University, University of Bristol, University of London, and University of Oslo. Her research interests and main publications (Studia Logica, Erkenntnis) concern the abstractionist programme in the philosophy of mathematics and Frege's Logicism, second-order logic and plural logic, and the issue of reference in mathematics. She is member of COGITO and CRESA research centres, and a member of the promoting committee of the Italian Network for the Philosophy of Mathematics (FilMat).
