E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize: 2014 call for nominations</font><br>
<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="Tahoma" size="3">
Since 2002, FoLLI (the Association for Logic, Language, and Information, </font><a href="http://www.folli.info" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">http://www.folli.info</a><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="Tahoma" size="3">) has awarded 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 awarded in 2013. 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.</font><br>
