Paul Bernays Award
Starting in 2011, the Swiss Society for Logic and Philosophy of
Science (SSLPS) awards each year the Paul
Bernays Award
to a young researcher for an outstanding contribution in the area of
logic and philosophy of science. The award is sponsored by Altonaer Stiftung für philosophische Grundlagenforschung.
The work of the nominees must be documented by a thesis (e.g. Master or
PhD thesis), a paper or a series of papers, and must have been carried
out in large part at a Swiss institution; only researchers not older
than 35 may be nominated.
The Swiss Society for Logic and Philosophy of Science appoints an award
committee each year. The committee has full discretion to choose the
award winner in accordance with the rules mentioned above. All its
decisions are final.
The annual award winner will receive the Paul Bernays Award during a
special event of the Swiss Society for Logic and Philosophy of Science.
The award 2019 includes prize money of 1000 CHF.
The award committee 2020 consists of: Andrea Cantini (Florence), Reinhard Kahle (Tübingen), Giovanni Sommaruga (Zurich), and Thomas Studer (Bern).
