(Updated) 20 - 21 January 2026, CfP: AAAI 2026 Bridge Program - Logic & AI, Singapore [SG]
Hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is one of the oldest and most comprehensive top-tier conferences in the field of AI. At AAAI 2026, a Bridge Program on "Logic & AI" will be featured. This two-day Bridge Program on Logic & AI aims to thoroughly explore and expand the intersection of AI and Logic. It will be a platform for systematic discussion about new applications of various logical methods in AI, with special interest in the logical and symbolic reasoning abilities of LLMs. We hope this Bridge Program will explore various approaches to enhancing the capabilities of LLMs in solving complex logical tasks. In addition, this exploration could serve as a valuable model for integrating neural networks with symbolic methods.
We welcome submissions from a wide range of fields including logic, AI, linguistics, and cognitive science. and topics of interest can be find in our website. We welcome two types of papers: (1)Full papers: Full-length research papers from 4 to 8 pages (excluding references and appendices); (2)Short papers: research/position papers of up to 4 pages (excluding references and appendices). Papers should be submitted in the AAAI format (https://aaai.org/authorkit26-1/). The review process will be single-blinded, and we welcome accepted and published papers. The contributions can be either *non-archival* or published upon the authors' choices. There will be Oral Presentation Awards, Outstanding Paper Awards, and one Best Paper Award for accepted papers with outstanding quality.

(Updated) 13 - 16 February 2026, Zagreb Logic Conference 2026, Zagreb [CR]
The Zagreb Logic Conference (ZLC) encompasses various branches of logic, such as higher order logic, modal logic, set theory, proof theory, model theory, but also philosophy of logic, history of logic, and applications of logic in computer science, computability and complexity. The venue is the Department of Mathematics, University of Zagreb. Invited speakers: Ivan Tomašić (Queen Mary University of London).
We invite you to submit your abstracts to the fourth edition of the conference. Each talk will be allocated a slot of about half an hour, plus the time for questions and discussion.
(Updated) 15 - 21 December 2025, 26th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2025), Modena [IT]
Software systems are rapidly becoming more intelligent in the functionality they offer to users. They are also becoming more decentralized, with components that act autonomously and must communicate among themselves or with human users to achieve their goals. Examples of such systems include those in healthcare, disaster management, e-business, and smart grids. A multi-agent perspective is crucial to the proper conceptualization, deployment, and governance of these systems. Rooted in solid computational and software engineering foundations, this perspective offers abstractions such as intelligent agents, protocols, norms, organizations, trust and incentives, among others. As a large, but still growing research field of artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems today remain a unique enabler of interdisciplinary research.

(New) 16 March 2026, Recent Trends in Logic and Game Theory, Chennai [IN]
Logic and game theory are foundational disciplines that have significantly developed, influencing diverse fields such as computer science, economics, artificial intelligence, and social choice theory. Recent trends highlight innovative applications of logic to model strategic interactions, analyse equilibria, and design systems with rational agents, as well as advancements in game-theoretic reasoning for logic-based systems. This conference aims to bring together researchers to explore the latest research, tools, and applications at the intersection of logic and game theory.
Submissions on any topic related to logic and game theory are welcome.
This year's editions welcomes submissions in two categories: short abstracts and extended abstracts. Both types will be reviewed by the PC. Submissions should be sent by the corresponding author to rtlg2025 at gmail.com specifying the category. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop and present their work. A proceedings volume of extended abstracts will be published shortly after the workshop.
