************************************************************************************************************

We are happy to announce that the 21st edition of the Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2025) will take place from September 25-28, 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey. RW 2025 is part of Declarative AI 2025, which also includes the 9th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning (RuleML+RR) and DecisionCAMP 2025, both held from September 22-24, 2025.

The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate recent advances in reasoning techniques and relevant topics related to ontologies, rules, logic, the semantic web, linked data, and knowledge graph applications. The summer school is primarily intended for individuals who are currently pursuing or have recently completed postgraduate degrees (PhD or MSc). However, the school also welcomes the participation of researchers at later career stages who wish to become acquainted with the area or deepen their understanding of recent developments. The RW school is a great venue for meeting like-minded researchers and exchanging with an engaging and approachable group of international lecturers!



*** Summer School Program ***

As in previous years, the summer school will feature 8 tutorials delivered by researchers who are experts in the area. Here are the confirmed speakers and topics for this year's school:

* Camille Bourgaux: Inconsistency-Tolerant Semantics Based on Preferred Repairs

* Patrick Koopmann: Explaining Reasoning Results for Description Logic Ontologies
