This third edition of PhDs in Logic will continue the two day graduate conference format that proved successful in Ghent (2009) and Tilburg (2010). We have again invited four established logicians to do a a tutorial (two one-hour sessions) on their recent work and we will give around ten PhD students the opportunity to present either their own work or an overview of a topic of choice in logic. We will also allow for ample opportunity for talking to peers as we feel networking is especially important in interdisciplinary disciplines such as logic.
Come February 17–18th, 2011 the following tutorials will take place in Brussels.
- Eric Pacuit — Logics of Informational Attitude and Informative Actions
- Sonja Smets — Logics for Quantum Information Flow
- Mai Gehrke — Duality in Logic
- Peter Koepke — Techniques for Getting Large Cardinals in Inner Models
PhD students in logic with a background in philosophy, computer science, or mathematics are the intended audience for these tutorials. (We also want to encourage master students, first year postdocs, and logicians from other departments to apply though.)
