[Om-announce] CFP: 8th Scandinavian Logic Symposium

[Thomas Bolander]

8th SCANDINAVIAN LOGIC SYMPOSIUM 20-21 August 2012 at Roskilde University, DENMARK

First 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.

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.
