Subject: Deadline Extension for E. W. Beth Outstanding Dissertation Prize 2020

 
The Beth Dissertation Prize is to go ahead in 2020 with a deadline extension
to 30th of April 2020. Nominations are welcome for the best dissertations in
the areas of logic, language and information,  resulting in a Ph.D. degree
awarded in 2019.

The 32nd ESSLLI summer school is postponed to 2021, due to the spread of
CV-19. The Beth Prize will be awarded either through a virtual ceremony in
2020 or a presentation in ESSLLI 2021. The winner will be announced in early
July 2020.

For details about the qualifications and the prize,  see
http://www.folli.info/?page_id=74.

Only digital submissions are accepted. The following documents are to be
submitted in the nomination dossier:

- The original dissertation in pdf format (ps/doc/rtf etc. not acceptable).

- A ten-page English abstract of the dissertation, presenting the main results
of each chapter.

- A letter of nomination from the dissertation supervisor, which concisely
describes the scope and significance of the dissertation, stating when the
degree was officially awarded and the members of the Ph.D. committee.
Nominations should contain the address, phone and email details of the
nominator.

- Two additional letters of support, including at least one from a referee not
affiliated with the academic institution that awarded the Ph.D. degree, nor
otherwise related to the nominee (e.g. former teachers, supervisors,
co-authors, publishers or relatives) or the dissertation.

- Self-nominations are not possible.

All pdf documents must be submitted electronically, as one zip file, via
EasyChair by following the link
