=================================================================

The Logic Mentoring Workshop (LMW) will introduce young researchers to the technical 
and practical aspects of a career in logic research. It is targeted at students, from senior 
undergraduates to graduates, and will include talks and a panel session from leaders in 
the subject.

LMW 2019 builds on the resounding success of the first three editions held in 2016, 2017 
and 2018. It will be co-located with the Symposium on Logic in Computer Science 
(LICS 2019), the premier international forum on theoretical and practical topics in 
computer science related to logic. LMW will take place in Vancouver on June 22 before 
the main conference.
