[Katarina Jurik]

**Vienna Summer of Logic Announcement**

In the summer of 2014, Vienna will host the largest event in the history 
of logic. The Vienna Summer of Logic (VSL) will consist of twelve large 
conferences and numerous workshops, attracting an expected number of 
2500 researchers from all over the world.

The conferences and workshops will deal with the main theme, logic, from 
three important aspects: logic in computer science, mathematical logic 
and logic in artificial intelligence.

This unique event will be organized by the Kurt Goedel Society at Vienna 
University of Technology from July 9 to 24, 2014 (see website for more 
details: http://vsl2014.at)

*Keynote Speakers*
The VSL keynote speakers are Franz Baader (Technische Universitaet 
Dresden), Edmund Clarke (Carnegie Mellon University), Christos 
Papadimitriou (University of California, Berkeley) and Alex Wilkie 
(University of Manchester). Dana Scott (Carnegie Mellon University) will 
speak in the opening session.

*Kurt Goedel Research Prize Fellowship Competition*
At the Vienna Summer of Logic, the Kurt Goedel Society will award three 
fellowship prizes endowed with 100.000 Euro each to the winners of the 
Kurt Goedel Research Prize Fellowship Competition "Logical Mind: 
Connecting Foundations and Technology."

*FLoC Olympic Games - Citius, Maius, Potentius*
The Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2014 will host the 1st FLoC 
Olympic Games.  Intended as a new FLoC tradition, the Games will bring 
together a multitude of established solver competitions by different 
research communities. In addition to the competitions, the Olympic Games 
will facilitate the exchange of expertise between communities, and 
increase the visibility and impact of state-of-the-art solver 
technology. The winners in the competition categories will be awarded 
Kurt Goedel medals at the FLoC Olympic Games award ceremonies.
