The Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) each year awards the E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize, named in honor of the Dutch mathematician Evert Willem Beth, to outstanding PhD theses in the fields of Logic, Language, and Information. Dissertations are evaluated on the basis of their technical depth, strength and originality. Each year the award can be assigned ex aequo to more than one thesis, or to no thesis at all. The prize consists of a certificate, a monetary award, and an invitation to submit (a possibly revised version of) the thesis to the FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information, [1] published by Springer Science+Business Media.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is a US-based international learned society for computing. It was founded in 1947 and is the world's largest scientific and educational computing society. The ACM is a non-profit professional membership group, reporting nearly 110,000 student and professional members as of 2022. Its headquarters are in New York City.
Dana Stewart Scott is an American logician who is the emeritus Hillman University Professor of Computer Science, Philosophy, and Mathematical Logic at Carnegie Mellon University; he is now retired and lives in Berkeley, California. His work on automata theory earned him the Turing Award in 1976, while his collaborative work with Christopher Strachey in the 1970s laid the foundations of modern approaches to the semantics of programming languages. He has also worked on modal logic, topology, and category theory.
Kaarlo Jaakko Juhani Hintikka was a Finnish philosopher and logician. Hintikka is regarded as the founder of formal epistemic logic and of game semantics for logic.
John Richard Perry is a professor at Stanford University and the University of California, Riverside. He has made significant contributions to philosophy in the fields of philosophy of language, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. He is known primarily for his work on situation semantics, reflexivity, indexicality, personal identity, and self-knowledge.
Dov M. Gabbay is an Israeli logician. He is Augustus De Morgan Professor Emeritus of Logic at the Group of Logic, Language and Computation, Department of Computer Science, King's College London.

The Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) is an international, especially European, learned society. It was founded in 1991 "to advance the practicing of research and education on the interfaces between Logic, Linguistics, Computer Science and Cognitive Science and related disciplines." The academic journal Journal of Logic, Language and Information (JoLLI) is published under its auspices; it co-ordinates summer schools such as the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI), the North American Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI), and the International Conference and Second East-Asian School on Logic, Language and Computation (EASLLC); and it awards the E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize to outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language, and Information.
The European Master's Program in Computational Logic (EMCL) was a two years joint MSc programme offering a joint degree between four European universities as a part of the Erasmus Mundus co-operation and mobility programme. So far, this programme had more than 130 students.
