************************************************************************************************************

We are happy to announce that the 21st edition of the Reasoning Web 
Summer School (RW 2025) will take place from September 25-28, 2025 in 
Istanbul, Turkey. RW 2025 is part of Declarative AI 2025, which also 
includes the 9th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning 
(RuleML+RR) and DecisionCAMP 2025, both held from September 22-24, 2025.

The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate recent 
advances in reasoning techniques and relevant topics related to 
ontologies, rules, logic, the semantic web, linked data, and knowledge 
graph applications. The summer school is primarily intended for 
individuals who are currently pursuing or have recently completed 
postgraduate degrees (PhD or MSc). However, the school also welcomes the 
participation of researchers at later career stages who wish to become 
acquainted with the area or deepen their understanding of recent 
developments. The RW school is a great venue for meeting like-minded 
researchers and exchanging with an engaging and approachable group of 
international lecturers!
