*FINAL CALL FOR APPLICATIONS*
Logic, Uncertainty and Games Summer School (LUG2018) Lake Como School of Advanced Studies 9th-13th July 2018
Aims and structure ==================
The goal of the Logic, Uncertainty and Games School is to contribute towards the creation of cross-disciplinary common grounds for research on rational reasoning and (interactive) decision making under uncertainty. To this end the School will feature three eight-hour tutorials delivered by leading experts in the fields of Logic, Uncertainty and Games.
Each tutorial is followed by one (or more) example-class session aimed at developing in greater detail one specific topic (e.g. the full proof of a theorem or a generalisation of a notion which is being used in a particular case).
Finally, graduate students and junior researchers will deliver Work-in-progress sessions. This will provide them a unique opportunity to receive feedback from the School lecturers, while developing strong inter-disciplinary communication skills.
The summer school is co-located with the LOFT 2018 workshop, to be held on the following week (16-18 July) at Bocconi University, Milan
