1 November 2013, Nieuw Amsterdams Peil-day 2013 (NAP dag), University of Amsterdam
Each fall, the ACLC organizes the Nieuw Amsterdams Peil-day, commonly abbreviated to "the NAP-dag". This is a day on which PhD candidates from the ACLC and ILLC involved in linguistic research can present their work. The 2013 "NAP-dag" will be on Friday, November 1.
For more information, see http://aclc.uva.nl/news-and-events/events/events/events/content/folder/symposia/ or contact napdag.aclc at gmail.com.

27-28 January 2014, AISB Workshop on Modelling Organisational Behaviour and Social Agency, Bournemouth, U.K.
The Society for the Study of Articial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) is organizing a Workshop on Modelling Organisational Behaviour and Social Agency. The event is hosted by Bournemouth University.
Agent-based models (ABMs) allow to observe the complexity of a system's interactions in the making. This is of interest for the social sciences because of a presumed ontological correspondence of agents with the atoms of social life. An agent can be anything from states to socio-cultural structures, to the environment. This methodological vagueness can be the scrutinised with the theoretical question of what is the basic unit for the analysis of social systems in-between culture, organisation, interactions, and the body. This is of particular relevance for the analysis of organisations, and hence we would like to bring together a group of people that is interested in any aspect of ABM of social agents in organisations.
For more information, see http://www.aisb.org.uk/index.php/news/82-bulletin/
We invite submissions that seek to examine the applications, structure, how-to, potentials, and philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of ABMs applied to organisational behaviour and social agency. The workshop welcomes contributions from any discipline. Abstracts should be submitted by November 3, 2013.

25-26 November 2013, Substructural Approaches to Paradox, Barcelona, Spain
Recent years have witnessed a burgeoning interest in the application of substructural logics as a crucial component of philosophically motivated solutions to traditionally intractable paradoxes like the semantic paradoxes and the paradoxes of vagueness. Such solutions have proved to offer new valuable insights into those paradoxes, complementing those provided by more 'traditional' non-substructural solutions that also revise classical logic. The workshop proposes to take stock of the current trends in this thriving area of philosophy of logic.

29 November 2013, Reading group on proof theory
The topic is the completeness of the tableaux method for proof search. We shall study: Dag Prawitz, 'Comments on Gentzen-type Procedures and the Classical Notion of Truth' , Proof Theory Symposium Kiel 1974 (J. Diller and G. H. Müller, eds), Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics Vol 500, Berlin 1975, pp. 290-319.
If time permits, or possibly at a later date, we shall look at: Dag Prawitz,'Completeness and Hauptsatz for Second Order Logic', Theoria 33(1967), pp. 246-258.
Those interested in participating may contact Prof. B.G. Sundholm at goran.sundholm at gmail.com.
10-12 April 2014, Mathematical Cultures 3 (MC3), London, U.K.
MC3 is the third in a series of three conferences with associated publications on mathematics as culture and mathematics in culture. The third conference will consider the relation between mathematics and other cultures, whether popular or specialist. Amongst other topics, it will explore the question "why should I study mathematics?" - from perspectives within and outside mathematical cultures.
For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/mathematicalcultures/conference-3
Abstracts of about 300 words are invited on the place and reception of mathematics in non-mathematical cultures, relations between mathematical and non-mathematical cultures, and especially the cultural significance of mathematics for school pupils, their parents and other advisers at the points when they decide whether or not to study it. Historical analyses are welcome, especially if they offer insight (possibly through contrast) into the experiences and conditions of present-day developed societies. The deadline is 30 November 2013.
