*E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize: 2013 call for nominations* Since 2002, FoLLI (the Association for Logic, Language, and Information, http://institucional.us.es/folliweb/) awards the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize to outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language, and Information. We invite submissions for the best dissertation which resulted in a Ph.D. degree in the year 2012. The dissertations will be judged on technical depth and strength, originality, and impact made in at least two of three fields of Logic, Language, and Computation. Interdisciplinarity is an important feature of the theses competing for the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize.
Who qualifies. Nominations of candidates are admitted who were awarded a Ph.D. degree in the areas of Logic, Language, or Information between January 1st, 2012 and December 31st, 2012. There is no restriction on the nationality of the candidate or the university where the Ph.D. was granted. After a careful consideration, FoLLI has decided to accept only dissertations written in English. Dissertations produced in 2012 but not written in English or not translated will be allowed for submission, after translation, also with the call next year (for dissertations defended in 2013). The present call for nominations for the E.W. Beth Disertation Award 2013 will also accept nominations of full English translations of theses originally written in another language than English and defended in 2011 or 2012. Prize.
