FIRST CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS

2nd LOGIC MENTORING WORKSHOP
Reykjavik, Iceland
Sunday 18 June 2017

http://lics.rwth-aachen.de/lics17/lmw.html

Colocated with LICS 2017


The 2nd Logic Mentoring Workshop (LMW) invites applications from students 
(undergraduate, master's and PhD), in all areas of logic for scholarships to 
attend the Logic in Computer Science (LICS) conference this year. Attending a 
conference such as LICS can be a transformative experience. It exposes 
participants to cutting-edge research and can open up new research avenues and 
collaboration opportunities. However many students do not get the opportunity 
to attend a conference such as LICS, and its participation often 
underrepresents women and minorities. For this reason, women and members of 
minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. Scholarships will be 
generously funded by our sponsors (see below) and covers registration to LMW 
and the main LICS conference, and possibly travel and accommodation.

The LMW will focus on the technical and practical aspects of a career in logic 
research, including talks and panel sessions from leaders in the subject. LMW 
'17 builds on the success of the first edition which took place last year, also 
colocated with LICS. Last year's programme can be found here:
