Previous editions of the EBL have been a great success, attracting researchers from all over Latin America and elsewhere. The EBL has become an important meeting point and discussion forum for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic. In 2014, the EBL will be held at the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC), at Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro. The goal of the EBL is to encourage the dissemination and discussion of research papers in the area of Logic and their interconnections with the areas of Foundations and Philosophy of Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, Informatics, and Artificial Intelligence. Topics include: Philosophical and Mathematical Logic, and Applications; History and Philosophy of Logic; Non-classical Logic and Applications; Philosophy of Formal Sciences; Foundations of Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics, among others.
