Computational Logic and Applications Winter School

at the Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, China

CLAWS 2025 is a three-day school designed to introduce a modern perspective on computational logic and its applications.

The event will take place on October 18, 24, and 25, 2025, and is intended for undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in mathematics and computer science.

The school is structured in two stages. The first day (Saturday, October 18) will focus on introductory tutorials, providing a solid foundation in the core concepts of logic and computation. Building on this groundwork, the final two days (Friday, October 24, and Saturday, October 25) will move into more advanced topics, featuring in-depth sessions that explore cutting-edge themes and applications of computational logic.
