Call for Applications
The new European PhD Program in Computational Logic (EPCL) is run jointly
by four of the leading European universities in the field:
- Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy),
- Technische Universität Dresden (Germany),
- Technische Universität Wien (Austria), and
- Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal).
Further international universities, research organizations and enterprises
which contribute to Computational Logic or apply results from it are
involved as associated partners: The Simon Fraser University (Canada), the
Universidad de Chile, the National ICT Australia Limited (NICTA), and
several companies.
The program involves three years of PhD study in at least two of the
European partner universities. It leads to a joint doctoral degree of the
partner universities at which the studies have been physically performed.
The language of the program is English. Financial support is available in
the form of positions and scholarships.
Necessary requirements for participation in EPCL are a Master's degree in
Computer Science or Mathematics, or an equivalent degree; the proof of
adequate knowledge of English; and substantial knowledge in the areas
Foundations of Logics, Foundations of Artificial Intelligence and
Declarative Programming.
The program will start on 1 October 2011. Applications have to be
electronically submitted on the Webpage, http://www.epcl-study.eu/, before
the Application Deadline on 15 May 2011.
If you have inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact the coordinator of
the program Prof. Steffen Hölldobler (see contact information below).
EPCL is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
(BMBF) within the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) program
International Doctorates in Germany (IPID).

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
