Beth Outstanding Dissertation Prize 2025 Award Ceremony

Friday, August 1, 3:50-4:50pm, room HGB 20

Since 1998, the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI) has been awarding the annual E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize to outstanding Ph.D. dissertations in Logic, Language, and Information with financial support of the E.W. Beth Foundation.

 

General Information

 At ESSLLI, each course consists of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week, in the same slot each day. Each course belongs to one of the interdisciplinary areas LaLo (Language and Logic), LaCo (Language and Computation, or LoCo (Logic and Computation). Further, courses are stratified by level, starting at Foundational (no prerequisites), then going to Introductory (introductions into a subfield, may have some prerequisites in general areas) and Advanced (specialized courses). Workshops are organized by the respective coordinators.
