CALL FOR PAPERS

The Institute of Philosophy, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, announces

LOGICA 2012

the 26th in the series of annual international symposia devoted to logic,
to be held at Hejnice (in northern Bohemia, about 2.5 hours from Prague) 18 – 22 June 2012.

Invited speakers are Sergei Artemov, Warren Goldfarb, David Makinson, and Barbara Partee.

The official language of the symposium is English. The first session of the symposium begins on the morning of June 19. The symposium closes at noon Friday June 22.

Contributions devoted to any of the wide range of logical problems are welcome except those focused on specialized technical applications. Particularly welcome are contributions that cover issues interesting both for ‘philosophically’ and for ‘mathematically’ oriented logicians.

Contributions to Logica symposia are published in The Logica Yearbook series (College Publications). Previous volumes include papers from Nuel Belnap, Johan van Benthem, Kosta Došen, Melvin Fitting, Bob Hale, Wilfrid Hodges, Jaakko Hintikka, David Lewis, Jeff Paris, Dag Prawitz, Graham Priest, Stephen Read, Greg Restall, Gabriel Sandu, Howard Sobel, Stewart Shapiro and many others.

The fee for the symposium is 400 EUR for participants and 280 EUR for accompanying persons. The fee covers full board and lodging at Hejnice Monastery during the symposium, the conference coach from Prague to Hejnice and back, and (for participants) a copy of the volume containing contributions to the symposium.

If you are interested in presenting a paper at the symposium, please email us a two-page abstract prepared for blind reviewing in pdf format accompanied by a separate page with your name, contact address and affiliation by 28 February 2012. The subject line of email submissions should contain “Logica 2012” to assure that the mail will not be deleted as spam. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by the end of March.

Scholars from countries with underfunded academic institutions are invited to apply for a reduction of the conference fee. In exceptional cases the organizing committee may cover the entire fee. Those who wish to apply for the reduction should explicitly state so when submitting their abstract, which should be extended to four pages.
