13 - 14 January 2020, Tribute to Kurt Gödel 2020 (conference), Brno, Czech Republic
Kurt Gödel's unparalleled results in logic grant him a prominent place among logicians. Apart from extraordinary results in the theory of formal systems, he influenced research in set theory, non-classical logics, physical model of the universe, and in philosophy. The event is organised to commemorate the anniversaries (14 January) of the death of Kurt Gödel (Brno 1906 - Princeton 1978) as well as the birth of Alfred Tarski (Warsaw 1901 - Berkeley 1983); January 14 may thus be viewed as World Logic Day.
For the conference, we welcome contributions to these topics especially from logicians, mathematicians, and historians and philosophers of logic. Contributions related to Tarski's work are also welcome.
We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the main topics of the conference to submit a short abstract of approximately 200 words and an extended abstract of at most a 1000 words (references included) through EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=tkg2020.
Accepted papers will be presented in 30 minute slots including discussion. Abstracts must be written in English; uploaded extended abstract must be in pdf format.
30 October - 6 November 2019, ILLC MasterClass Logica voor docenten wiskunde C
Naar aanleiding van de MasterClass eerder dit jaar organiseert het ILLC een volgende MasterClass Logica gericht op Wiskunde C docenten met als doel deze groep te voorzien van achtergronden in de logica. De MasterClass zal bestaan uit 2 colleges en optioneel, mocht daar behoefte voor blijken te zijn, een derde college.
31 October - 2 November 2019, 30th Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics, Strasbourg, France
The Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics is an annual international conference aimed at PhD and postdoctoral students (young scholars) in the history and philosophy of mathematics.
Mathematical knowledge is commonly thought of as being essentially universal: its truths are eternal and incontrovertible, its propositions understandable and agreeable by all, independent of linguistic, cultural, ethnic or religious backgrounds. However, global knowledge, as mathematics seems to be, is always produced locally. As such, it hinges upon collectively shared ways of practicing, writing, and communicating mathematics. This year's Novembertagung invites participants to reflect on the theme 'Mathematical Cultures, Values, & Norms'. The invited speakers are June Barrow-Green (Open University) and Roy Wagner (ETH Zurich).
1 - 3 November 2019, 8th International Workshop on Many-Valued Logic (ManyVal 2019), Bucharest, Romania
ManyVal is a series of international workshops on the logical and algebraic aspects of many-valued reasoning. The aim of the workshops is to gather both established and young researchers sharing an interest for a specific topic. Accordingly, each edition has a sharp focus. The attendance is limited in order to facilitate close and informal interaction. There are no parallel sessions.
ManyVal 2019 will focus on Probabilities, modalities and algebraic structures in many-valued logics.

5 - 8 November 2019, Workshop on Proof Theory, Modal Logic, & Reflection Principles, Barcelona, Spain
We are proud to announce the lustrum edition of the international workshop "Proof Theory, Modal Logic and Reflection Principles." The workshop (also known as the "Wormshop") will take place at the University of Barcelona from Tuesday, November 5 until Friday, November 8, 2019.
The tradition of modal logics inspired on the notion of formal proof dates back to Gödel, but their study has gained great momentum in the last decade due to novel applications in the foundations of mathematics. Their study moreover requires the interaction of several disciplines in mathematical logic and beyond, including computational logic, proof theory, and point-set topology.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in relevant fields in order to discuss recent advances and foster new collaborations.

29 August - 8 September 2020, 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020), Virtual
The biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is Europe's premier venue for presenting scientific results in AI. Under the general theme 'Paving the way towards Human-Centric AI', the 24th edition of ECAI was to be held in Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO's World Heritage City which is the destination of unique Routes that cross all Europe since the Middle Ages.
Since the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the mobility constraints still in place make it difficult planning, the organizers believe that the most reasonable decision is to hold ECAI 2020 fully online, and have announced the new Digital ECAI2020.
The Program Committee of the 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020) invites the submission of papers for the technical programme of the Conference. High-quality original submissions are welcome from research results and applications of all areas of AI.
Calls will also be issued for workshop and tutorial proposals, as well as for contributions to PAIS 2020 (the Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems conference) and STAIRS 2020 (the Starting AI Researcher Symposium).
15 - 17 April 2020, EvoStar 2020: Bio-inspired computation, Online

19 - 22 November 2019, First Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and fOrmal VERification, Logic, Automata, and sYnthesis (OVERLAY), Rende, Italy
The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques in safety-critical systems, employed in real world scenarios, requires the design of reliable, robust and verifiable methodologies. The combined efforts of notable Italian researchers, that have been collaborating for several years in complementary fields such as specification, verification, and synthesis of reactive systems, artificial intelligence, controller synthesis, etc., has led to the creation of a new research group on Artificial Intelligence and fOrmal VERification, Logic, Automata, and sYnthesis (OVERLAY). The group aims at investigating novel methods and algorithms supporting the design and development of autonomous safety-critical systems.
The workshop, part of the AIxIA 2019 conference, is the first official initiative supported by OVERLAY, presenting the research group and its current results to the Italian AI scientific community. The event aims at establishing a stable, long-term scientific forum on relevant topics connected to the relationships between Artificial Intelligence and Formal Methods, by providing a stimulating environment where researchers can discuss about opportunities and challenges at the border of the two areas.

6 - 9 April 2020, 6th Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence (GCAI 2020), to be rescheduled
Due to the current situation of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, it is believed that ZJULogAI cannot take place as scheduled. The conference and all its sub-events, including GCAI 2020, will be rescheduled (most likely to Q3 or Q4 2020).
The 6th Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence (GCAI 2020) will be held in Hangzhou, China, 6-9 April 2020, as part of the Zhejiang Logic for AI Summit (ZjuLogAI 2020). With its special focus theme on "Explainable AI and Responsible AI", the summit intends to promote the interplay between logical approaches and machine learning based approaches in order to make AI more transparent, responsible and accountable.
Submissions in all areas of artificial intelligence are welcome. GCAI 2020 accepts submissions of two types, full paper submissions (which must be original and cannot be submitted simultaneously elsewhere) and extended abstract submissions (which report on ongoing or preliminary work, or on work that is central to symbolic reasoning and/or machine/deep learning applied to both software and robotic systems, but that has already been submitted or recently published elsewhere as a full paper). Both types of submissions must be prepared in LaTeX or Microsoft Word using the EasyChair templates, and uploaded in PDF format.

28 - 29 November 2019, Mental Representations in a Mechanical World, Bochum, Germany
The concept of representation is ubiquitous in cognitive science and in the philosophy of mind. Neural representations are postulated by neuroscientists to explain sub-personal phenomena such as the processing of visual information in the brain, while mental representations are taken to explain person-level phenomena, such as imagination, or consciousness. But non-representationalists contend that postulating representations of any sort is unnecessary or problematic. This workshop investigates the status of representations in a mechanical account of the mind and cognition. One core question will be whether the status of neural and mental representation is equally problematic. A second core question concerns the relationship between neural and mental representations.
Speakers: Joe Dewhurst (LMU), Carrie Figdor (Iowa), Jolien Francken (Amsterdam), Matej Kohar (RUB), Beate Krickel (RUB), Marcin Milkowski (Polish Academy of Sciences) and Karina Vold (Cambridge).

29 November 2019, 5th Workshop on Connexive Logics, Bochum, Germany
Systems of connexive logic have been motivated by considerations on a content connection between the antecedent and succedent of valid implications and by applications that range from Aristotle's syllogistic to Categorial Grammar and the study of causal implications. After four workshops on connexive logics in Istanbul, Raesfeld Castle, Kyoto and Bochum, a fifth workshop on connexive logics will take place in Bochum (Germany) on the 29th of November, 2019.
The fifth workshop aims at discussing directions for future research in connexive logics. Special focus will be given on historical aspects as well as connections to conditional logics. The workshop will be collocated with a workshop on the Logic of Paradox, from the 25th to 27th, and a workshop on FDE-based modal logic on the 28th. Keynote speakers: Vincenzo Crupi, Andrea Iacona, Spencer Johnston and Marko Malink.
29 November 2019, Workshop on Metainferences & Substructural Logics, Buenos Aires, Argentina

17 - 20 December 2020, 2nd Tsinghua Interdisciplinary Workshop on Logic, Language, and Meaning (TLLM 2020), Online
Monotonicity, in various forms, is a pervasive phenomenon in logic, linguistics, and related areas. In theoretical linguistics, monotonicity properties are relevant to a large array of semantic phenomena and to the presence of pragmatic inferences such as scalar implicatures. In logic and mathematics, monotonicity guarantees the existence of fixed points and the well-formedness of inductive definitions. Also, monotonicity is closely tied to reasoning, in formal as well as natural languages. Recent logical and linguistic work on monotonicity has also found its way into computation systems for natural language processing and cognitive models of human reasoning. The goal of our workshop is to bring together researchers working on monotonicity or related properties, from different fields and perspectives.
The first day of the workshop were to be devoted to two tutorials:
1. Jakub Szymanik (University of Amsterdam): Monotonicity in Logic
2. Gennaro Chierchia (Harvard University): Monotonicity in Language
The remaining two days were to consist of invited and contributed talks.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the organizers have decided to reschedule TLLM 2020 online in December.
The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. Abstracts are not to exceed two pages of A4 or letter-sized paper, including data and references, preferably with 1? (2.54cm) margins on all sides, set in a font no smaller than 11 points. The abstract should have a clear title and should not identify the author(s). The abstract must be submitted electronically in PDF format, via EasyChair.
