FIRST CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND PARTICIPATION.

*PhDs in Logic* is an annual two-day graduate conference and winter school 
in logic. Each year we invite four established professors to do a tutorial 
on their work in two one-hour sessions. We also give about ten PhD 
students the opportunity to do a thirty-minute presentation on (a) their 
own work or (b) an overview of some topic in their field.

Come February 17-18th, 2011 the following tutorials will take place in 
Brussels.

Eric Pacuit: *Epistemic Logic*
Sonja Smets: *Quantum Logic*
Mai Gehrke: *Algebraic Logic*
Peter Koepke: *Set Theory*

PhD students in logic with a background in philosophy, computer science, 
or mathematics are the intended audience for these tutorials. They are 
also the type of students we have in mind for our thirty-minute student 
sessions. Students interested in doing a talk should send a 500-1000 word 
abstract to phdsinlogic+abstracts@gmail.com by November 15th, 2010. If 
your abstract is accepted, you will be expected to give us a six to ten 
page paper by January 15th, 2011. We welcome students to participate in 
*PhDs in Logic III* regardless of whether they want to do a presentation. 
We also invite master students in logic, first year postdocs, and 
logicians from disciplines other than philosophy, computer science, and 
mathematics to apply. There is a 30 euros registration fee.
