7 September 2023, Logical pluralism discussion
Some MoL students and the Utrecht philosophical society (know as 'What is Important?') are organising a philosophical discussion event on the question whether there is 'one true' logic, i.e. logical pluralism. We are expecting about 25 people with 10-25% professional philosophers/logicians.

12 September 2023, JRC Joint PhD Celebration Event
On 12 September 2023, the joint research center for Logic at both Tsinghua University and the University of Amsterdam (UvA) will organize a small workshop to celebrate the completion of three new joint PhD theses. The work reported on in these new PhD thesis projects is perfectly aligned with the main mission of the JRC centre to further broaden the interdisciplinary view of logic. We will take the opportunity in the afternoon of 12 September to celebrate these new achievements and warmly invite all interested researchers and students to attend the event.

22 September 2023, Formalisation, Optimisation, Algorithms, Mechanisms (FOAM), Ulle Endriss
Abstract:
The research area of computational social choice deals with the application of techniques from computer science and AI to the design and analysis of economic mechanisms for collective decision making. In this talk, I will report on one of the most exciting recent developments in the field, namely the use of automated reasoning tools, and notably SAT solvers, to support economic theorists in their quest to gain a deeper understanding of what is and what is not possible when it comes to designing fair and efficient mechanisms for decision making. I will exemplify this approach with recent work on the design of matching markets, where the goal is to match, for instance, job seekers and companies on the basis of their preferences. No specialised technical background will be required to follow the exposition.

29 September 2023, ILLC Autumn Colloquium 2023 & Current Affaris Meeting
The ILLC Colloquium is a festive event that brings together the six research units at the ILLC. Each colloquium consists of two or three talks by representatives from different units, sometimes followed by Wild Idea Talks.
The ILLC colloquium is preceded by the Current Affairs Meeting.
The purpose of the Current Affairs Meeting is to inform you about issues that are currently of importance in the ILLC and/or the Master of Logic programme. We will also use this opportunity to welcome new members of staff and to provide you with an update about upcoming and other plans.
