WiL Travel Awards
Since 2018, the VCLA has been contributing to the Women in Logic Workshop series of workshops that follow the pattern of meetings such as Women in Machine Learning or Women in Engineering that have been taking place for quite some years. The workshop series which is part of the annual ACM/IEEE Symposiums on Logic in Computer Science (LICS) aims to offer the opportunity for women in the LICS community (Logic in Computer Science) to increase awareness of one another and one another’s work and to combat the feeling of isolation which can hinder especially the career development of early-career academics.
The most visible effort to support the junior colleagues in the community is the annual ACM SIGLOG/VCLA Travel Awards, which support the female and male presenters at the Women in Logic workshops all around the world.
