Beauty of Logic 2018
January 25 — 27, 2018
Villa Lanna, Prague
Prague Gathering of Logicians is an annual event upheld by the community of
logicians in Prague, bringing together researchers with expertise in
mathematics, computer science, philosophy, linguistics, and other territories
or neighbours of logic. It seeks to promote research in logic by focusing on
in-depth talks given by resident logicians and guests on their areas of
expertise, as well as providing a platform for informal exchange of ideas.
The event is open to all logicians or researchers interested in logic.

This year, the Gathering is held jointly with Beauty of Logic, organized irregularly in recent past by the Institute of Computer Science in honour of Petr Hájek, its late member and former director who passed away in December 2016. Petr Hájek was a teacher, advisor, mentor, and esteemed colleague, to several successive generations of logicians. He established several weekly seminars, focusing on different areas of logic, that have continued to be run in Prague for decades. His keen interest in a broad range of themes in logic, his frontier research work, and his appreciation of the work of others, made him a role model to many of us. This year's Beauty, held jointly with the Gathering, is a way of saying thank you.
