We are happy to announce that registration for Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic 2026 (AWPL 2026) is now open:

https://logic.swu.edu.cn/awpl2026/Registration.htm

The Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL, http://awpl.org/Workshops.html) is a series of events initiated by a group of Asian logicians. Its first installment took place at JAIST in Japan in 2012. The primary goal of the workshop is to promote awareness, understanding, and collaborations among researchers in philosophical logic and related fields. It emphasizes the interaction between philosophical ideas and formal theories. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, non-classical logics, philosophical logics, algebraic logic, as well as their applications in computer science, cognitive science, and social sciences. So far, five successful workshops have been organized in Ishikawa (2012), Guangzhou (2014), Taipei (2016), Beijing (2018), Hangzhou (2020), Sapporo (2024) and Kolkata (2025). The post-conference proceedings are published in the Springer book series "Logic in Asia"(http://www.springer.com/series/13080?detailsPage=titles). AWPL2026 is hosted by the Institute of Logic and Intelligence,Southwest University, and Chongqing Association of Logic is a co-organizer for this workshop.
