Originally conceived as a way of bringing together the many logicians of Hellenic descent throughout the world, it has evolved into an international forum for the communication of state-of-the-art advances in logic. The symposium is open to researchers worldwide who work in logic broadly conceived. The Eighth Panhellenic Logic Symposium will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Ioannina. PROGRAM OF THE SYMPOSIUM The scientific program of the symposium will consist of one-hour long invited talks, three-hour long tutorials, and twenty-five-minute presentations of accepted contributed papers. There will also be special opportunities for students to give short talks, and receive comments on work in progress.
