*Kurt Gödel Research Prize Fellowship Competition:

At the Vienna Summer of Logic, the Kurt Gödel Society will award three
fellowship prizes endowed with 100.000 Euro each to the winners of the
Kurt Gödel Research Prize Fellowship Competition "Logical Mind:
Connecting Foundations and Technology."

*FLoC Olympic Games - Citius, Maius, Potentius:

The Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2014 will host the 1^st FLoC
Olympic Games.Intended as a new FLoC tradition, the Games will bring
together a multitude of established solver competitions by different
research communities. In addition to the competitions, the Olympic Games
will facilitate the exchange of expertise between communities, and
increase the visibility and impact of state-of-the-art solver
technology. The winners in the competition categories will be awarded
Kurt Gödel medals at the FLoC Olympic Games award ceremonies.

The VSL social program offers a taste of Viennese architecture and
cuisine -- be prepared for the beauty of Schönbrunn Palace and its
gardens, as well as for the grandeur of the Vienna City Hall and the
Museum of Natural History.

*The city of Vienna:

A city rich in history and culture, Vienna is the perfect venue for the
summer of logic. Discover Vienna's museums, gardens, palaces and coffee
places while you experience the largest gathering of logicians in history.
