CFP: PhDs in Logic VI

PhDs in Logic is a graduate conference organized by local graduate students. Its aim is to bring together PhD candidates and researchers as well as to foster contact between graduate students. Earlier editions of the event took place in Ghent (2009, 2012), Tilburg (2010), Brussels (2011) and Munich (2013).

Following the previous meetings, the academic setup of the conference consists of two main parts:

(i) Four established researchers in logic will each give two 45-minute tutorial sessions on a relevant topic in logic;

(ii) About 15 PhD candidates will give 20-minute presentations on their work.

There will also be opportunities for informal gatherings, including a conference dinner on Thursday April 24.

The tutorial speakers of this year’s edition are:

- Thierry Coquand (University of Gothenburg)
- Femke van Raamsdonk (VU University Amsterdam)
- Stephen Read (University of St. Andrews)
- Albert Visser (Utrecht University)

PhD candidates interested in presenting a talk should submit a 500-1000 word abstract by January 15, 2014 via EasyChair at ttps://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pil2014. We welcome PhD candidates in logic with a background in philosophy, computer science, mathematics or linguistics. Exceptions can be made for master students and first-year postdocs. The selection of the talks will follow a double-blind review process.
