forwarding on the part of Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh:
====
Since 2002, the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI)
has been awarding the annual E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize to outstanding
Ph.D. dissertations in Logic, Language, and Information (
http://www.folli.info/?page_id=74), with financial support of the E.W. Beth
Foundation (
https://www.knaw.nl/en/awards/funds/evert-willem-beth-stichting/evert-willem-beth-foundation).
Nominations are now invited for the best dissertation in these areas
resulting in a Ph.D. degree awarded in 2019.

The deadline for nominations is the 15th of April 2020.

Qualifications:

  - A dissertation is eligible for the Beth Dissertation Prize 2020, if the
Ph.D. degree has been awarded in Logic, Language, or Information between
January 1st and December 31st, 2019.
  - There are no restrictions on the nationality, ethnicity, age, gender or
employment status of the author of the nominated dissertation, nor on the
university, academic department or scientific institution formally
conferring the Ph.D. degree, nor on the language in which the dissertation
has originally been written.
  -  In accordance with the aim of the Beth Foundation to continue and
extend the work of the Dutch logician Evert Willem Beth, nominations are
invited of excellent dissertations on current topics in philosophical and
mathematical logic, computer science logic, philosophy of science,
philosophy of language, history of logic, history of the philosophy of
science and scientific philosophy in general, as well as the current
theoretical and foundational developments in information and computation,
language and cognition. Dissertations with results more broadly impacting
various research areas in their interdisciplinary investigations are
especially solicited.
  -  If a nominated dissertation has originally been written in a language
other than English, its dossier should still contain the required 10 page
English abstract, see below. If the committee decides that a nominated
dissertation in a language other than English requires translation to
English for proper evaluation, the committee can transfer its nomination to
the competition in 2021. The English translation must in such cases be
submitted before the deadline of the call for nominations in 2021. The
committee may recommend the Beth Foundation to consider supporting such
nominated dissertations for English translation, upon request by the author
of the dissertation.


The prize consists of:

  - a certificate
  - a donation of 3000 euros, provided by the E.W. Beth Foundation
  - an invitation to submit the dissertation, possibly after revision, for
publication in FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information
(Springer).

results of each chapter.

  - Two additional letters of support, including at least one from a
referee not affiliated with the academic institution that awarded the Ph.D.
degree, nor otherwise related to the nominee (e.g. former teachers,
