Subject: Deadline Extension — Call for Nominations: E. W. Beth Outstanding Dissertation Prize 2023

The extended deadline for nominations is the 30th of May 2023.

Since 2002, the Association for Logic, Language, and Information
(FoLLI) has been awarding the annual E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize to
outstanding Ph.D. dissertations in Logic, Language, and Information
(http://folli.info/?page_id=74), with financial support of the E.W.
Beth Foundation (https://www.knaw.nl/en/funds-and-prizes/evert-willem-
beth-foundation). Nominations are now invited for the best
dissertation in these areas resulting in a Ph.D. degree awarded in
2022.
- A Ph.D. dissertation on a topic concerning Logic, Language, or
Information is eligible for the Beth Dissertation Prize 2023, if the
degree was awarded  between January 1st and December 31st, 2022.
- There are no restrictions on the nationality, ethnicity, age, gender
or employment status of the author of the nominated dissertation, nor
on the university, academic department or scientific institution
formally conferring the Ph.D. degree, nor on the language in which the
dissertation has originally been written.
-  In accordance with the aim of the Beth Foundation to continue and
extend the work of the Dutch logician Evert Willem Beth, nominations
are invited of excellent dissertations on topics in the broad remit of
ESSLLI, including current topics in philosophical and mathematical
logic, computer science logic, philosophy of science, philosophy of
language, history of logic, history of the philosophy of science and
scientific philosophy in general, as well as the current theoretical
and foundational developments in information and computation,
language, and cognition. Dissertations with results more broadly
impacting various research areas in their interdisciplinary
investigations are especially solicited.
-  If a nominated dissertation has originally been written in a
language other than English, its dossier should still contain the
required 10 page English abstract, see below. If the committee decides
that a nominated dissertation in a language other than English
requires translation to English for proper evaluation, the committee
can transfer its nomination to the competition in 2024. The English
translation must in such cases be submitted before the deadline of the
call for nominations in 2024. The committee may recommend the Beth
Foundation to consider supporting such nominated dissertations for
English translation, upon request by the author of the dissertation.

The prize consists of:
- a certificate
- a donation of 3000 euros, provided by the E.W. Beth Foundation
- an invitation to submit the dissertation, possibly after revision,
for publication in FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and
Information (Springer).

Only digital submissions are accepted, without exception. Hard copy
submissions are not allowed. 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 pdf file,
via EasyChair by following the link
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=bodp23 . In case of any
problems or questions please contact the chair of the committee Ana
Sokolova (anas at cs.uni-salzburg.at).
