3 - 14 July 2023, Eighth EPICENTER Summer Course in Epistemic Game Theory 2023, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands
The EPICENTER, our research center on Epistemic Game Theory at Maastricht University, offers this two-week intensive course as an introduction to the blooming field of Epistemic Game Theory. This field takes a new, fresh approach to game theory, and studies how people reason in game theoretic situations before they eventually make a choice. More precisely, it explores how we reason about the minds of others before we make a choice. Hence, the reasoning of people like you and me is at the center stage of epistemic game theory.
The course is primarily meant for advanced bachelor students, master students and PhD students all over the world, but researchers are also very welcome.

26 - 28 October 2023, Workshop on Reasoning with Imperfect Information in Social Settings, Pisa, Italy
The assessment and understanding of fragmented and vague information has become an increasingly pressing issue in social deliberations. Rational agents and decision-makers must navigate inconsistent and partial information while striving to organise it coherently, and shared information in communication requires agents to continually update their beliefs. Logical methods provide a natural toolkit for formally analysing these complex phenomena.
The workshop “Reasoning with Imperfect Information in Social Settings” at the Scuola Normale Superiore (University of Pisa), aims to bring together researchers in logic, formal and social epistemology, computer science, who are exploring the intricacies of information dynamics in social scenarios. Relevant topics include belief revision and merging, judgment and preference aggregation, multi-agent non-monotonic reasoning, multi-agent epistemic and deontic logic, as well as formal methods for representing social epistemic attitudes.
To submit, please send an anonymized abstract of 800-1000 words (excluding references) to pietro.vigiani at sns.it no later than June 30st. Notification of acceptance will be sent by the end of July.
Session times will be 45 min., divided into 30 min. for the presentation followed by 10 min. of discussion. Individuals belonging to underrepresented groups in the field of logic are strongly encouraged to submit their work.
A peer review process will select papers for publication in a volume of the Edizioni della Normale series.

21 - 22 November 2023, 5th Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open Online Media (MISDOOM 2023), Amsterdam, the Netherlands
The Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open Online Media (MISDOOM) is returning for its 5th edition on 21 and 22 November 2023. This time, the conference will be hosted by the National Research Center for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) at Amsterdam Science Park (Netherlands).
MISDOOM values multidisciplinary research and is designed to be inclusive of different academic disciplines and practices.
The symposium provides a platform for researchers, industry professionals, and practitioners from various disciplines such as communication science, computer science, computational social science, political science, psychology, journalism, and media studies to come together and share their knowledge and insights on online disinformation.
Keynote Speakers:
- Prof Dr. Judith Möller, University of Hamburg
- Dr. Pepa Atanasova, University of Copenhagen
Given that we welcome both social scientists and computer scientists, and that the publication strategies of these fields differ, we solicit two types of contributions that, upon acceptance, result in the same opportunity to present at MISDOOM:
- Papers to be published with Springer LNCS proceedings. Up to 15 pages (including references) in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format describing original unpublished and new research. The work should be structured like a research paper, and cover the context of the problem studied, the research question, approach/methodology, and results in 6 to 15 pages.
- Authors can also choose to submit an Extended Abstract. The extended abstract should not exceed 500 words, excluding references, and can pertain to previously published work, ongoing projects, or new research ideas. Submissions are not archival and are not formally published. Additionally, authors must submit a conference program abstract of no more than 150 words.

31 July - 11 August 2023, 34th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2023), Ljubljana, Slovenia
Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, where the school was virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at both introductory and advanced levels, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world.
The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis in human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures.
Registration is now open. Early bird registration deadline: June 14th (extended).
31 July - 4 August 2023, Procedural and computational models of semantic and pragmatic processes, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Procedural and computational modeling frameworks have been applied successfully to various aspects of semantic and pragmatic processes, yielding not only a good fit to empirical data but also insights of theoretical relevance. On the one hand, computational (e.g., Bayesian or information theoretic) models rationalize speaker behavior and explain how a listener can use given information efficiently to infer the intended meaning from an utterance. However, these models often leave the stepwise processing of linguistic information unspecified. On the other hand, procedural (e.g., automata or ACT-R) models explain step-by-step cognitive processes behind meaning-related computations, e.g., the process of building sentence representations. However, they often lack the means to combine different information types in an interactive fashion. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers applying these two modeling methodologies to discuss their strengths and weaknesses and work towards an integrated approach.
