University of Florida, March 2-3, 2024
With colloquium talks on Friday March 1 and Monday March 4.
General Information
The Southeastern Logic Symposium (SEALS) series provides a forum for logicians to meet on a regular basis. It has traditionally been a unique venue for set theorists, computability theorists, and other logicians to interact, facilitating conversation between different fields of mathematics. The weekend meetings are held annually in the beginning of March at University of Florida.
SEALS 2024 is planned as an in-person conference at University of Florida. There will be three plenary talks and parallel special session talks in set theory and model theory.
The conference will follow UF COVID-19 rules as outlined and updated at https://wellness.ufl.edu/. As indicated there in the January 9 announcement, most COVID-19 precautions previously implemented by UF have been rescinded.
