Kurt Gödel Colloquium 2008 Announcement
Conference honoring the winners of the Kurt Gödel Centenary Research
Prize Fellowships Program
The Kurt Gödel Society is proud to announce the conference honoring the
winners of the International Research Fellowship Prize Program
commemorating Kurt Gödel's 100th birthday. The competition has been
organized by the Kurt Gödel Society with support from the John Templeton
Foundation.
Purpose of the fellowships is to support original research in, and areas
surrounding, the foundations of mathematics. These fellowships are
intended to carry forward the legacy of Kurt Gödel, whose works
exemplify deep insights and breakthrough discoveries in mathematical
logic, with profound impact on the philosophy and foundations of
mathematics. The selection has been made based upon an open,
international competition. An International Board of seventeen eminent
Jurors chaired by Professor Harvey Friedman has overseen the process.
Applicants were required to submit a curriculum vitae, a research paper,
and plans for further research. Seventeen finalists were chosen from
among the applicants and their submitted papers will be published in a
special issue of the Annals of Pure and Applied Logic. From the
finalists, five winners in the categories PreDoc, PostDoc and Senior
were chosen to receive USD 120,000.-, USD 160,000.- and USD
120,000.-respectively.
We are convinced, that the research of the winners will have had
considerable impact on the field of logic and foundations of mathematics
forever connected to Kurt Gödel's legacy.
