The confe rence will bring together researchers from both fi elds, giving them a forum to present new developme nts, exchange ideas, explore and establish new con nections between logic and physics. On the one han d, we are interested in technical contributions on the use of new methods and techniques coming from logic, computation and information theory to axio matize and model physical theories and to reason a bout their concepts, phenomena and/or applications . On the other hand, we are interested in contribu tions coming from the foundations and philosophy o f physics dealing with the general conceptual fram ework and with questions of interpretation. In par ticular, we solicit contributions that merge new d evelopments in logic and physics, focusing for ins tance on how the use of techniques from logic can be combined with insights in physics to yield a ne w perspective on the main foundational issues and open problems in modern physics.

\n The main goal of this conference is to presen t current trends\n situated at the interfac e of Logic and the Foundations of\n Physics . The conference will bring together researchers f rom\n both fields, giving them a forum to p resent new developments,\n exchange ideas, explore and establish new connections between\n logic and physics. On the one hand, we are in terested in\n technical contributions on th e use of new methods and\n techniques comin g from logic, computation and information\n theory to axiomatize and model physical theories and to reason\n about their concepts, pheno mena and/or applications. On the\n other ha nd, we are interested in contributions coming from the\n foundations and philosophy of physic s dealing with the general\n conceptual fra mework and with questions of interpretation. In\n particular, we solicit contributions that m erge new\n developments in logic and physic s, focusing for instance on\n how the use o f techniques from logic can be combined with\n insights in physics to yield a new perspective on the main\n foundational issues and open problems in modern physics.\n
