"In the twenty-first century -- indeed, now more than ever -- the 
discipline of logic is a particularly timely one, utterly vital to our 
societies and economies. Computer science and information and 
communications technology, for example, are rooted in logical and 
algorithmic reasoning."
                  Audrey Azoulay, Director General of UNESCO

   On 26 November 2019, the 40th General Conference of UNESCO proclaimed 14 
January to be

   WORLD LOGIC DAY,

research, as well as to public dissemination of the discipline. UNESCO are 
encouraging their member states to organize national events on 14 January 
with the active participation of governmental and non-governmental, public 
and private institutions concerned, such as schools, universities, 
research institutes, philosophical and scientific associations, and 
others.
