September or December 2021, Workshop "Intuition & rigour in geometrical thinking from antiquity to the 19th century", Prague, Czech Republic
From the end of the 19th century, mathematical and philosophical literature has often portrayed a contrast between visual intuition and logical rigor. However, the terms "rigour" and "intuition" have rich associations and connotations in different historical contexts, and well before the turn of the 20th century. The goal of our workshop is to study the historical evolution of these notions within the mathematical practice, and the epistemological debates that they have raised.
Confirmed keynote speakers are: Helena Durnova (Masaryk University, Brno) Michael Friedman (Humboldt University, Berlin) Eduardo Giovannini (University of Wien) Marco Panza (CNRS, Universit́e Paris 1/Chapman University) Vincenzo de Risi (CNRS, Universit́e Paris 7).
Note: the event as it was scheduled cannot unfortunately take place in December due to covid measures, but will be postponed to the next year, possibly September 2021 or December 2021.

The workshop will take place on Monday, December 14th 2020 from 09:50 to 12:50 and from 15:00 to 18:00. The workshop is associated to the PhD defense of Ilaria Canavotto.
17 - 20 May 2020, 17th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (JELIA 2021), Klagenfurt (Austria) or Virtual
The aim of JELIA 2021 is to bring together active researchers interested in all aspects concerning the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence to discuss current research, results, problems, and applications of both theoretical and practical nature. JELIA strives to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilisation of ideas among researchers from various disciplines, among researchers from academia and industry, and between theoreticians and practitioners.
JELIA 2021 will be held in Klagenfurt, Austria, from May 17th to May 20th, 2021, circumstances permitting. The conference could also be held in a hybrid (physical presence and online) or online-only mode, depending on the development of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Program Committee invites the submission of technical papers for the conference. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in all areas related to the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence.
JELIA 2021 welcomes submissions of long or short papers in the following categories: Regular papers (containing original research, not previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere), and System/Application descriptions (describing an implemented system/application and its application areas). Submissions must be formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style, and are not anonymous. JELIA 2021 is happy to announce that there will be Best Paper and Best Student Paper Prizes sponsored by Springer.

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.
