Second Call for Nominations: E. W. Beth Outstanding Dissertation Prize 2020

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
(http://www.folli.info/?page_id=74), with financial support of the
E.W. Beth Foundation
(https://www.knaw.nl/en/awards/funds/evert-willem-beth-stichting/evert-willem-beth-foundation). Nominations
are now invited for the best dissertation in these areas resulting in a
Ph.D. degree awarded in 2019.

The deadline for nominations is the 15th of April 2020.

Qualifications:

- A dissertation is eligible for the Beth Dissertation Prize 2020, if
  the Ph.D. degree has been awarded in Logic, Language, or Information
  between January 1st and December 31st, 2019.
- 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 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 2021. The English
  translation must in such cases be submitted before the deadline of the
  call for nominations in 2021. 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
