E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize: 2013 Call for Nominations

Since 2002, FoLLI (the Association for Logic, Language, and Information,
http://institucional.us.es/folliweb/) awards the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize
to outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language, and
Information. We invite submissions for the best dissertation which resulted in
a Ph.D. degree in the year 2012. The dissertations will be judged on technical
depth and strength, originality, and impact made in at least two of three
fields of Logic, Language, and Computation. Interdisciplinarity is an
important feature of the theses competing for the E.W. Beth Dissertation
Prize.

Who Qualifies:
Nominations of candidates are admitted who were awarded a Ph.D. degree in the
areas of Logic, Language, or Information between January 1st, 2012 and
December 31st, 2012. There is no restriction on the nationality of the
candidate or the university where the Ph.D. was granted. After a careful
consideration, FoLLI has decided to accept only dissertations written in
English. Dissertations produced in 2012 but not written in English or not
translated will be allowed for submission, after translation, also with the
call next year (for dissertations defended in 2013). The present call for
nominations for the E.W. Beth Disertation Award 2013 will also accept
nominations of full English translations of theses originally written in
another language than English and defended in 2011 or 2012.

Prize:
The prize consists of:
-a certificate
-a donation of 2500 euros provided by the E.W. Beth Foundation
-an invitation to submit the thesis (or a revised version of it) to the FoLLI
Publications on Logic, Language and Information (Springer). For further
information on this series see the FoLLI site.

How to Submit:
Only electronic submissions are accepted. The following documents are
required:
1. The thesis in pdf format (ps/doc/rtf not accepted);
2. A ten page abstract of the dissertation in pdf format;
3. A letter of nomination from the thesis supervisor. Self-nominations are not
admitted: each nomination must be sponsored by the thesis supervisor. The
letter of nomination should concisely describe the scope and significance of
the dissertation and state when the degree was officially awarded;
4. Two additional letters of support, including at least one letter from a
referee not affiliated with the academic institution that awarded the Ph.D.
degree.

All documents must be submitted electronically (preferably as a zip file) to
buszko at amu.edu.pl

Hard copy submissions are not admitted. In case of any problems with the email
submission or a lack of notification within three working days, nominators
should write to buszko at amu.edu.pl

Important Dates:
Deadline for Submissions: May 12, 2013.
Notification of Decision: July 14, 2013.
