LUG 2018: Summer School on Logic, Uncertainty, & Games

9-13 Jul 2018
Lake Como, Italy

*FIRST CALL FOR APPLICATIONS*

Logic, Uncertainty and Games Summer School (LUG2018)
Lake Como School of Advanced Studies [http://lakecomoschool.org/]
9th-13th July 2018


Aims and structure
==================

   The goal of the Logic, Uncertainty and Games School is to contribute
   towards the creation of cross-disciplinary common grounds for research
   on rational reasoning and (interactive) decision making under
   uncertainty. To this end the School will feature three eight-hour
   tutorials delivered by leading experts in the fields of Logic,
   Uncertainty and Games.

   Each tutorial is followed by one (or more) example-class session aimed
   at developing in greater detail one specific topic (e.g. the full
   proof of a theorem or a generalisation of a notion which is being used
   in a particular case).

   Finally, graduate students and junior researchers will deliver
   Work-in-progress sessions. This will provide them a unique opportunity
   to receive feedback from the School lecturers, while developing strong
   inter-disciplinary communication skills.

   The summer school is co-located with the LOFT 2018 workshop, to be held
   on the following week (16-18 July) at Bocconi University, Milan
