We are pleased to call for submissions to WiL 2026, the "10th Women in Logic Workshop", which will take place in Lisbon on 24--25 July 2026, as a satellite event of FLoC 2026.

The Women in Logic workshop provides an opportunity to highlight and increase awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the field of logic and computer science. Its main goal is to promote and showcase excellent research led by women, ultimately fostering greater visibility and representation within the community.

Previous editions of Women in Logic have taken place in Reykjavik (2017), Oxford (2018), Vancouver (2019), Paris (2020), Rome (2021), Haifa (2022), Rome (2023), Tallinn (2024) and Birmingham (2025).

* Grants *
A limited number of travel grants is available for students/young researchers who would not otherwise have resources to attend WiL, and whose attendance would benefit both the applicant and the event.

* Special Issue -- 10 Years of the Women in Logic Workshop *
We are delighted to pre-announce a special 10th Anniversary Edition of Women in Logic, which will be published in the Journal of Logic and Computation. This celebratory issue will highlight a decade of contributions by women to the development of logic and its applications, showcasing both established and emerging voices in the community.

The call for papers will be launched soon, and we warmly encourage submissions from researchers working across all areas of logic. This special edition represents an important milestone in the ongoing effort to increase visibility, representation, and opportunities for women within the field.
