LICS 2016

Logic Mentoring Workshop 2016

July 9, 2016

Overview

The logic mentoring workshop aims to help position students for success in pure and applied logic research. It is open to both graduate students and senior undergraduate students and will focus on topics such as how to best present your research and factors to consider when pursuing your research career. The workshop will feature technical talks and mentoring sessions with world leaders in logic research and teaching from academia, industry, and government.

LMW will be co-located with Logic in Computer Science (LICS) 2016, the premier international forum on theoretical and practical topics in computer science that relate to logic, broadly construed. LMW will take place immediately after LICS on Saturday, July 9 in New York City.
