[FOM] Louis Couturat Logic Prize

[jean-yves beziau]

Today, January 17, is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Louis Couturat
(1868–1914)
Couturat was the main promoter of symbolic logic in France at the beginning
of the 20th century
We celebrate this day by launching the Louis Couturat Logic Prize
http://www.uni-log.org/louis-couturat-logic-prize.

And there will be a tutorial on Couturat at the 6th World School of Logic
in Vichy (June 16-20)
given by  Oliver Schlaudt (University of Heidelberg, Germany):
Louis Couturat: Early symbolic logic and the dream of a Characteristica
Universalis

This prize is  part of the project
A PRIZE OF LOGIC IN EVERY COUNTRY
which I started by creating the
Newton da Costa Logic Prize in Brazil in 2015
These prizes aim at promoting logic in each country
in particular by developing interaction between all people interested in
logic

Winners of these logic prizes will present their works at UNILOG'2018,
the 6th World Congress on Universal Logic in Vichy next June (21-26)
