Call for Open Problems

Call for Contributions: “Open problems in Substructural Logics”

Women in PLEXUS is an opportunity to increase the visibility of the significant contributions made by women (and other underrepresented groups) in the field of substructural logics. Its primary purpose is twofold: first, to promote the research conducted by women researchers in this area; and second, to introduce students and early-career researchers to open problems within this topic.

Women in PLEXUS will have a hybrid format. Some lectures will be imparted and discussed through videoconference.

SUBMISSIONS

We welcome submissions consisting of a 1-2 page proposal for a discussion session (max 1000 words), focused on exploring open problems and potential research directions.

You can submit your proposal by completing the participation confirmation form or by emailing it to womeninplexus@gmail.com.

We strongly encourage PhD students, recent graduates and early-career researchers to apply.

TOPICS

The list of our preferred topics is below:

Substructural logics (non-contractive logics, linear logics, non-transitive logics, non-reflexive logics, non-monotonic logics, and more)
Philosophical motivations for substructurality
Applications of substructural and non-classical logics
Paraconsistent and paracomplete logics
Many-valued logics (proof-theoretic and semantic aspects)
Metainferential logics

We welcome other proposals regarding substructural logics.
