Objective

Logic Colloquium 2003 is the most important event in the area of logic in the world in 2003. It is the European Summer Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, the international head organization of logicians, and these meetings have become the main annual conference of top logicians, young researchers and students from all over the world. The event has tutorials aimed at students, contributed papers- and poster sessions for young researchers, high level plenary lectures and special sessions reporting on new cutting-edge research in logic.

The goal is to advance mathematical logic as a multi-disciplinary branch of mathematics, philosophy, computer science and linguistics with outstanding importance for the present day society marked by information technology. The impact of logic ranges at present from theoretical mathematical study, with mainly foundational importance, to sophisticated applications in computer science, philosophy and linguistics.

In all the main areas of mathematical logic there will be keynote speakers reporting on cutting-edge new results for the wider audience of logicians and specialists alike. There will be also special sessions highlighting the most recent innovations of each area.

The most dynamic topics at the moment are:

l) Set theory: potential cofinality theory (speaker: Saharon Shelah, Jerusalem) and descriptive set theory (Matthew Foreman, Irvine).

2) Model theory: stability theory (Boris Zilber, Oxford) and finite model theory, with close links to computer science (Martin Grohe, Edinburgh).

3) Recursion theory: degrees of unsolvability (Leo Harrington, Berkeley) and effective model theory with relevance to computer science (Richard Shore, Cornell).

4) Proof theory; reductive proof theory and the higher infinity (Michael Rathjen, Leeds).

In addition there will be keynote speakers in philosophical logic, philosophy of mathematics, computer science logic and history of logic.
