Geneva, Switzerland
The Swiss Graduate Society of Logic and Philosophy of Science (SGSLPS) organises a one-day conference on PHILOSOPHICAL MODAL LOGIC on October 7 in Geneva. Modal logic is a type of logic that extends the standards of formal logic to include the elements of modality. Modalities, expressed by the modal operators box and diamond, permit to qualify the truth of a judgement. Widely studied from a mathematical and theoretical point of view, modal logic has nonetheless been a valuable instrument for the formal analysis of philosophical arguments, and has found important applications in computer science. Invited Speakers: *Prof. Fabrice Correia* (University of Geneva), Modal logic from a philosopher's perspective *Dr. Sara Uckelman* (ILLC, Amsterdam), Modal Logic: Medieval and Modern Perspectives *Dr. Alessandro Giordani* (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano), Explicit Modal Logic Please find a full program on www.sgslps.ch <http://onwww.sgslps.ch/>. All are welcome! The SGSLPS is an association of advanced undergraduate and graduate students concerned with logic and/or philosophy of science. Its aim is to promote logic among young scientists of a wide range of disciplines including, but not restricted to, mathematics, philosophy and computer science. It presents high level introductory events on chosen topics from the field of logic to all those with an interest in this domain. For the SGSLPS, Marion Haemmerli (Geneva), Kevin Fournier (Lausanne), Yann Pequignot (Lausanne) and Dandolo Flumini (Berne)
