WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE

Members of the CologNet partners directly involved in Work Package 12 ``Education and Training''.

People in CologNet involved in Dissemination of Knowledge and Organisation of Summer Schools on CologNet related topics.

People active in the organisation of study programmes in Computational Logic.

The workshop is basically a CologNet internal workshop --- and this call will be circulated within CologNet --- however, the participation of people outside CologNet who have experience and interest in the workshop's topics is welcome. Please tell the organisers whom they should invite.

If you want to participate, please send a mail to Mariana.Stantcheva@inf.tu-dresden.de that we have an overview of people who will attend.

Topics (tentative):

  • Future Development of the ``Dresden International Masters Programme in Computational Logic'': Critical review of the ``Foundation Units'' http://www.cl.inf.tu-dresden.de/compulog/lectures/foundation_units/foundation-units.html, (The 1st year's curriculum is of particular importance as it constitutes the basis for futher advanced courses which may be attended in various universities.) Is it acceptible as is for the future? Should it undergo change? extensions? deletions?
  • Towards a Distributed CL Masters Programme: Which problems have to be faced? Definition of standards for courses which shall be credited for the Dresden Masters Degree. Examinability of courses.

Workprogramme news

Posted by Luis on Jul 9, 2002

In pursuance of the goals of the Education and Training workprogramme towards a Distributed European Masters in Computational Logic, the two managing nodes of Education and Training, Dresden and Lisbon,have taken steps to formally accredit a number of courses of the Lisbon MSc in AI as credit equivalent for the purpose of the International Masters in Computational Logic at Dresden, this being reciprocated by Lisbon. Theyhave also obtained approval by the Socrates/Erasmus programme for some exchange of students between both masters courses. Further information about the accreditation can be found in English via the EuropeanConnection link at http://centria.fct.unl.pt/~lmp/miaa/info.html.
