Apologies for cross-posting.

Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford will
celebrate the UNESCO World Logic Day together with a number of
academic institutions all around the world! On this occasion 4
esteemed senior researchers from the department will offer a closer
look at their fields of research and explain how logic and logical
methods are exploited therein.

The event will consist of the following up-to-1-hour online live
talks, each one followed by a short discussion:

10:30 PROF. MIKOLAJ BOJANCZYK (https://www.mimuw.edu.pl/~bojan/):

'Logic and automata for transducers'
--------------------------------------------------
12:00 PROF. BARTEK KLIN (https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/bartek.klin/):

`μ-calculi with atoms'
--------------------------------------------------
14:00 DR İSMAIL İLKAN CEYLAN (https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/ismail.ceylan/):

`Graph neural networks, probability, and logic'
--------------------------------------------------
15:00 Prof. BERNARDO CUENCA GRAU
(https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/bernardo.cuencagrau/):

As the closing note let us quote the words of the Director General of
UNESCO, Audrey Azoulay:

`In the twenty-first century — indeed, now more than ever — the
discipline of logic is a particularly timely one, utterly vital to our
societies and economies. Computer science and information and
communications technology, for example, are rooted in logical and
algorithmic reasoning.’
