CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects
of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the
interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer
science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics,
philosophy, or physics.

Women in Computability Workshop, 30 June 2011 :

In 2011, we continue the programme "Women in Computability" supported by the
journal "Annals of Pure and Applied Logic" (Elsevier).

Speakers:

Alexandra Shlapentokh

Valentina Harizanov

The Women in Computability workshop aims to bring together women in
Computing and Mathematical research to present and exchange their academic
and scientific experience with young researchers. The meeting will offer
the CIE scientific community the opportunity to encourage young students,
especially young female researchers, to have active careers in the
mathematical and computational sciences.


Mentorship Programme

The mentorship programme allows junior female researchers to meet senior
women in their field, discuss career issues with them and get their
support. Junior female researchers who wish to participate in this
programme will be assigned a mentor for the duration of the conference
with whom they will meet several times, including a dinner invitation with
other junior researchers and the mentors.

Annual General Meeting , 1 July 2011

The deadline for nominations to the Association CiE Board is Monday
6th June, 2011.

The President and one other CiE Board member will be elected at the time
of the CiE AGM.

For current Board membership see:

http://www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/~pmt6sbc/cie.admin.html

Any member of CiE can be nominated for election to the Board. A valid
nomination from the membership requires a nomination by 10 CiE members.
Each nomination should state whether it is a nomination for President or a
nomination to the Board, and should be sent to: s.b.cooper at leeds.ac.uk

All questions about the conference could be send at
cie2011 at fmi.uni-sofia.bg
