The University of North Carolina will inaugurate an annual conference series, beginning in 2012, dedicated to complexity theory, with particular application to understanding the intricacies of human experience across all domains. The goal of the series is to provide a trans-disciplinary venue for scholars from the humanities and the social sciences, as well as some aspects of the natural sciences (such as neuroscience, pharmacology, etc.). Since matters of life and death pertain to human experience in profound and important ways, the conference hopes to attract representatives from the allied health sciences as well.

The conference series will be dedicated to a particular topic each year. The topic for our first conference will be: *Modeling Complexity in the Humanities and Social Sciences.*

On the 9th January 2012, the programme "Semantics & Syntax" will be officially opened. In addition to being the official opening of the programme, this event will provide the general mathematical public (with strong emphasis on postgraduate students) a glimpse of the current state of the art and explain what is going to happen during the six months at Cambridge.

The day is one of the Spitalfields Days of the London Mathematical Society, named in honour of the Spitalfields Mathematical Society, a precursor of the London Mathematical Society which flourished from 1717 to 1845. Spitalfields Days provide survey lectures aimed at a general mathematical audience.

If you are a postgraduate student and wish to apply for a travel grant (£100), please contact the organizer at bloewe at science.uva.nl by 15 December 2011.

The Indian School on Logic and Applications is a biennial event. The previous editions of the school were held in IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur, and University of Hyderabad. The objective is to present before graduate students and researchers of the country, some basics as well as active research areas in logic. The School typically attracts students and teachers from mathematics, philosophy and computer science departments. The School is complemented by a biennial conference. The fourth conference was held at Delhi University, in January 2011, and the proceedings published as LNCS 6521 in the FoLLI series. The school will adopt a dual format: the mornings will consist of introductory courses on fundamental aspects of logic, by eminent researchers in the area. The afternoons will have workshops, which can be of the nature of advanced tutorials, or presentations on research areas, in different aspects of logic and applications.

The deadline for receiving applications is December 15, 2011. For more information, see http://ali.cmi.ac.in/isla2012/.

TAMC 2012 is one of a series of special events, running throughout the Alan Turing Year, celebrating Turing's unique impact on mathematics, computing, computer science, informatics, morphogenesis, philosophy and the wider scientific world.

It is widely acknowledged that a large variety of values and norms (including epistemic, moral, and political values and norms) play an important role in modeling. Although the literature about value-free science is huge, the specific theme of values and norms exclusively focusing on modeling has not yet received the attention it should. Models are often conceived of as being approximate representations with epistemic or even non-epistemic purposes, which makes them subject to a plethora of normative influences. This conference seeks to address these and related issues from a foundational as well as an applied perspective.

/PhDs in Logic//IV/is a graduate conference organized by and for PhD-students. This edition is the fourth one of an annual Belgian--Dutch happening; earlier editions took place in Ghent (2009), Tilburg (2010), and Brussels (2011).

As all previous PhDs in Logic conferences, this two-day graduate conference follows this threefold plan:
* Four established tutorial speakers will each give two one-hour tutorial sessions on a relevant topic in logic.
* Ten to twenty PhD students are given the opportunity to do a presentation on their own work.
* Networking will be encouraged by providing for generous breaks and by having lunch with the entire group.

CiE 2012 is one of a series of special events, running throughout the Alan Turing Year, celebrating Turing's unique impact on mathematics, computing, computer science, informatics, morphogenesis, philosophy and the wider scientific world.

Its central theme is the computability-theoretic concerns underlying the broad spectrum of Turing's interests, and the contemporary research areas founded upon and animated by them. In this sense, CiE 2012, held in Cambridge in the week running up to the centenary of Turing's birthday, deals with the essential core of what made Turing's contribution so influential and long-lasting.

This is the closing workshop for the NWO project On Vagueness - And How to Be Precise Enough (2008-2012). The workshop brings together philosophers, linguists, and psychologists working on the topic.

Organisers: Harald Bastiaanse, Robert van Rooij, Galit W. Sassoon, and Frank Veltman.

For more information, see: http://sites.google.com/site/vaguenesscircle/workshop. Participation in the workshop is free of charge, but we kindly ask you to let us know if you have plans to come (galitadar at gmail.com), so that we have an estimation of number of participants (for technical arrangements).

The aim of the Interrogative Model of Inquiry Workshop is to bring together researchers interested in Hintikka's Interrogative Model of Inquiry (IMI), and to promote cooperation and exchange on research projects related to the development of the IMI. The workshop will be the occasion to assess the different past scientific contributions to the IMI, and to open and discuss possibilities for new research directions.

The IMI Workshop is made possible by the IMI Project funded by the ANR and hosted by the IHPST.

For more information, see http://imi2012.sciencesconf.org/ or contact Henri Galinon at henri.galinon at gmail.com.

Formal philosophy relies increasingly on simulations, and sometimes on empirical test, coming closer to both computer-, cognitive- and social sciences. Some examples are learning-theoretic models of inquiry, network theory-based approaches in social epistemology, and game-theoretic evolutionary approaches of communication. The aim of the G.I.R.L.'12 Conference is to bring together researchers in philosophy, cognitive science and artificial intelligence, to investigate new areas where the game- and learning-theoretic simulation approaches can lead to fruitful results.

We are soliciting papers for a special volume of the Journal of Logic and Computation, devoted to Intuitionistic Modal Logics and Applications. We hope to cover the novel applications presented in the last workshop, but also to include work on constructive modal logics not presented at the workshop.
