[Emmanuel Beffara]

                         CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                  LOGIC AND INTERACTIONS 2012 (LI2012)

                      WINTER SCHOOLS and WORKSHOPS

                   Monday January 30 - Friday March 2
                    CIRM, Luminy, Marseille, France

                       http://li2012.univ-mrs.fr/


The “Logic and interactions 2012” session is the third such session organized
in Marseille on the topic “logic in computer science”, after "Logic and
interactions 2002" and "Geometry of computation 2006". The meeting will run
five consecutive weeks, each dedicated to a particular area of logic and its
interactions. Each week will include lectures aimed primarily at PhD students
and non-specialist researchers, invited and contributed talks addressed to a
more specialized audience and work sessions.

  page for each week. No publication of proceedings is planned,
  submission of published work is allowed.

  Deadlines for submissions:
   - Complexity:              December 15th, 2011
   - Logic and interaction:   November 30th, 2011
   - Proofs and programs:     December 15th, 2011

Registration
============

  There are no registration fees. Accomodation at the CIRM should be
  available for all participants: the only condition is to register on
  time.

  Pre-registration is now open on the web site.
  Once your pre-registration is validated, you will be contacted by the
  CIRM for the actual registration and booking.

  FYI: The standard rate for staying at the CIRM, including breakfast
  and two meals each day is 82 (double room) to 90 (single room) euros
  per day.

Grants
======

  We plan to fund the accommodation at the CIRM for all participants
  requiring it: simply select the appropriate option in the
  pre-registration form.

  We might also provide a limited amount of travel grants for students.
  To apply for such a grant, be sure to check the corresponding box of
  the pre-registration form: we will contact you directly for further
  information.
