[Elaine Pimentel]

——————————————----------
Since 2002, the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI)
has been awarding the annual E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize to outstanding
Ph.D. dissertations in Logic, Language, and Information with financial
support of the E.W. Beth Foundation.  Nominations are now invited for the
best dissertation in these areas resulting in a Ph.D. degree awarded in
2023.
——————————————----------
Qualifications:

 - A Ph.D. dissertation on a topic concerning Logic, Language, or
Information is eligible for the Beth Dissertation Prize 2024, if the degree
was awarded  between January 1st and December 31st, 2023.
 - There are no restrictions on the nationality, ethnicity, age, gender or
employment status of the author of the nominated dissertation, nor on the
university, academic department or scientific institution formally
conferring the Ph.D. degree, nor on the language in which the dissertation
has originally been written.
 -  In accordance with the aim of the Beth Foundation to continue and
extend the work of the Dutch logician Evert Willem Beth, nominations are
invited of excellent dissertations on topics in the broad remit of ESSLLI,
including current topics in philosophical and mathematical logic, computer
science logic, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, history of
logic, history of the philosophy of science and scientific philosophy in
general, as well as the current theoretical and foundational developments
in information and computation, language, and cognition. Dissertations with
results more broadly impacting various research areas in their
interdisciplinary investigations are especially solicited.
 -  If a nominated dissertation has originally been written in a language
other than English, its dossier should still contain the required 10 page
English abstract, see below. If the committee decides that a nominated
dissertation in a language other than English requires translation to
English for proper evaluation, the committee can transfer its nomination to
the competition in 2025. The English translation must in such cases be
submitted before the deadline of the call for nominations in 2025. The
committee may recommend the Beth Foundation to consider supporting such
nominated dissertations for English translation, upon request by the author
of the dissertation.

The prize consists of:
 - a certificate
 - a donation of 3000 euros, provided by the E.W. Beth Foundation. In case
two dissertations are selected, the prize will be split between the winners.
 - an invitation to submit the dissertation, possibly after revision, for
publication in FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information

submissions are not allowed. The following documents are to be submitted in
the nomination dossier:
