LC 2018 Udine, Italy July 23-28, 2018 https://lc18.uniud.it ________________________________________________________________________ LOGIC COLLOQUIUM 2018 https://lc18.uniud.it The Logic Colloquium 2018 is the annual European summer meeting of the Association of Symbolic Logic (ASL) (http://www.aslonline.org/index.htm). It will be held during July 23-28, 2018, at the University of Udine, Italy, and is organized by the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics of the University of Udine. The latest meetings took place in Paris (2010), Barcelona (2011), Manchester (2012), Evora (2013), Vienna (2014), Helsinki (2015), Leeds (2016), and Stockholm (2017). The Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL) is an international organization supporting research and critical studies in logic. Its primary function is to provide an effective forum for the presentation, publication, and discussion of scholarly work in this area of inquiry. The Association holds two major annual meetings to present current research in all aspects of logic in a way that is accessible to all logicians.

Valenti For questions, please contact lc18@uniud.it SUBMISSIONS: =================== Abstracts of contributed papers must be submitted as LaTeX source code, via EasyChair, at the URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lc18. If you do not have an EasyChair account yet, you can create one at https://easychair.org/ Abstract should be prepared according to the ASL instructions http://www.aslonline.org/rules_abstracts.html using the ASL abstract style (available at http://aslonline.org/abstractresources.html). The deadline for submissions is April 27, 2018. If electronic submission is not possible, abstracts should be mailed to: Prof. H. Dugald Macpherson, PC chair of Logic Colloquium 2018, School of Mathematics, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK. Abstracts are published as part of the meeting report in The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic  only if at least one author is a member of the ASL at the time the report is sent for publication. Abstracts of contributed papers submitted by ASL members will be published in The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, provided that they satisfy the Rules for Abstracts (see above). APPLICATIONS FOR STUDENT GRANTS: ======================= The ASL, the NSF, and the local organizing committee will make available modest awards to graduate students in logic and to recent PhDs to attend the meeting. For more details on the grants, see: http://www.aslonline.org/studenttravelawards.html . Applications for student grants and recommendations should be received by May 4, 2018. They should be submitted electronically, by email to LC18grant@uniud.it If electronic submission is not possible, applications and recommendations should be mailed to: Prof. H. Dugald Macpherson, PC chair of Logic Colloquium 2018, School of Mathematics, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK. The application should follow the instructions on https://lc18.uniud.it/applications Students waiting for the acceptance of a grant application should not register, since the grant may include discounts to the registration fee. After the acceptance, an ad hoc registration form will be available for them. Students whose application is declined will still have time to register before the early registration deadline. ______________________________________________ The event is made possible thanks to the financial support of: * ASL (Association for Symbolic Logic) https://www.aslonline.org * NSF (National Science Foundation) https://www.nsf.gov * SILFS (Società Italiana di Logica e Filosofia delle Scienze) http://www.silfs.it * AILA (Associazione Italiana di Logica e sue Applicazioni) http://www.ailalogica.it * Università degli Studi di Udine https://www.uniud.it/ * GNSAGA - INdAM http://www.altamatematica.it/gnsaga * Italian Chapter of EATCS (European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) https://www.eatcs.org/index.php/italian-chapter ______________________________________________ Association of Symbolic Logic (ASL): http://www.aslonline.org ASL newsletters: https://www.aslonline.org/info-newsletter.html -- Dario Della Monica, Postdoctoral Researcher Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e Tecnologie dell'Informazione (DIETI) University of Naples "Federico II" via Claudio, 21, 80125 Naples, Italy cell: (+39) 328 2477327 email: dario.dellamonica [at] unina.it skype: dariodellamonica web site: http://wpage.unina.it/dario.dellamonica/
