8th SCANDINAVIAN LOGIC SYMPOSIUM 20-21 August 2012 at Roskilde University, DENMARK
Third Announcement and Call for Papers
The 8th Scandinavian Logic Symposium will be held at Roskilde University, Trekroner, Denmark, 20-21 August 2012.
After a gap of fifteen years, the Scandinavian Logic Symposium is back. The Symposium is the first major initiative of the newly revived Scandinavian Logic Society (SLS, http://scandinavianlogic.org/) and will be held at Roskilde University (RUC), Denmark.
As with previous editions of this conference, the aim of the programme is to reflect current activity in logic in our part of the world. So we hope that participants from Scandinavia, the Baltic countries and Northwestern Russia will take the opportunity to contribute a talk and to meet with fellow logicians from the area. But needless to say, we also extend a warm welcome to logicians from further afield and plan to present a varied and interesting collection of invited and contributed talks.
TOPICS The scope of SLS 2012 is broad, ranging over the whole area of mathematical and philosophical logic, and logical methods in computer science. Suitable topics include (but are not limited to):
* Proof Theory and Constructivism * Model Theory (including Finite Model Theory) * Set Theory * Computability Theory * Categorical Logic * Logic and Provability * Logic and Computer Science * Logic and Linguistics * Modal, Hybrid, Temporal, and Description Logic * Logics of Games, Dynamics and Interaction * Philosophy of Mathematics * Philosophy of Computation * Philosophy of Logic * Philosophical Logic

These are intended to start from a relatively elementary level and lead on to current research problems. The following tutorial lectures have been confirmed so far:
* Lars Kristiansenhttp://folk.uio.no/larsk/ - "Honest subrecursive degree theory" * Sara Negri http://www.helsinki.fi/%7Enegri/ - "Labelled proof systems for modal logic" * M. H. Sørensenhttp://www.formalit.dk/ - "Curry-Howard Isomorphism"
RELATED EVENTS: Also note that Advances in Modal Logic (AiML) will be held on 22-25 August 2012, Copenhagen, Denmark. URL:http://hylocore.ruc.dk/aiml2012/

STUDENT GRANTS We are happy to announce that the ASL is sponsoring SLS2012. Among other things, this means that student ASL members may apply for ASL travel funds that are available for sponsored meetings. (see http://www.aslonline.org/studenttravelawards.html).
LOCATION Roskilde University (RUC) is situated at Trekroner, a small town 20 minutes by train from Central Copenhagen, and five minutes by train from Roskilde.
ACCOMMODATION Most people who work at RUC and almost all the RUC students live in Copenhagen. Getting to RUC is an easy train journey from the centre of Copenhagen. We anticipate that most conference attendees will book hotels in central Copenhagen, where there are many hotels in many price ranges. Hotel accommodation can also be found in Roskilde, though there the options are more limited.
REGISTRATION The conference website will be found at: http://scandinavianlogic.weebly.com/ Details concerning registration will be posted there in due course.
