Call for Nominations: 2021 Goedel Prize for outstanding papers in the area of theoretical computer science

Deadline: Sunday 28 February 2021

The Gödel Prize for outstanding papers in the area of theoretical computer science is sponsored jointly by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and  the Association for  Computing Machinery, Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (ACM SIGACT).
The award is presented annually and includes an award of USD 5000.
The Prize is named in honor of Kurt Gödel in recognition of his major contributions to mathematical logic and of his interest, discovered in a letter he wrote to John von Neumann shortly before von Neumann’s death, in what has become the famous "P versus NP" question.

Any research paper or series of papers  by a single author or by a team of authors is deemed eligible if:
- The main results were not published (in either preliminary or final form) in a journal or  conference proceedings before January 1st, 2008.
- The paper was published in a recognized refereed journal no later than December 31, 2020.
The research work nominated for the award should be in the area of theoretical computer science.
Nominations are encouraged from the broadest spectrum of the theoretical computer science community so as to ensure that potential award winning papers are not overlooked.
