This workshop is in memory, and in honour of, Pavlos Peppas. Pavlos was a leading researcher in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (particularly Belief Revision), and a friend, colleague, or mentor to a great many people in the KR community and beyond.

The final session of the day is open for reflections which you can also send through if you’re not able to attend or make in person if you’re at the workshop.
