• 2026 Sacks Prize. The ASL invites nominations for the 2026 Sacks Prize for the most outstanding doctoral dissertation in mathematical logic. Nominations must be received by September 30, 2026. The Sacks Prize was established to honor the late Professor Gerald Sacks of MIT and Harvard for his unique contribution to mathematical logic, particularly as adviser to a large number of excellent Ph.D. students. The Prize was first awarded in 1994 and became an ASL Prize in 1999. The Fund on which the Prize is based is now administered by the ASL and the selection of the recipient is made by the ASL Committee on Prizes and Awards. The Sacks Prize will consist of a cash award plus five years free membership in the ASL. For general information about the Prize, visit http://aslonline.org/other-information/prizes-and-awards/. Anyone who wishes to make a nomination for the 2026 Sacks Prize should consult the webpage http://aslonline.org/other-information/prizes-and-awards/sacks-prize-recipients/sacks-prize-nominations/ for the precise details of the application process. A brief summary of the procedure is provided here.

Students who defend their dissertations (equivalent to the American doctoral dissertation) between October 1, 2025, and September 30, 2026, are eligible for the Prize this year. This is an international prize, with no restriction on the nationality of the candidate or the university where the doctorate is granted. Nominations should be made by the thesis advisor, and consist of: name of student, title and 1–2 page description of dissertation, date and location of the thesis defense, letter of recommendation from the advisor, an electronic copy of the thesis in pdf form or the address of a website from which an electronic copy in pdf form can be downloaded, and an independent second letter of recommendation. Nominations and questions about the Prize should be sent to the Committee Chair, Jouko Väänänen; pdf files sent as attachments by email to e-mail: jouko.vaananen@helsinki.fi are preferred. The form of such letters and other pertinent details can be found at the website above and need to be read prior to submitting a nomination.

Those wishing to contribute to the Sacks Prize Fund may send contributions to the ASL Business Office (ASL, Department of Mathematics, University of Connecticut, 341 Mansfield Road, U-1009, Storrs, CT 06269-1009, USA). All such contributions are tax-deductible within the USA.

• New dues rates for ASL membership in 2026. Online renewal for 2026 is available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/membership/asl. Please make sure to renew your membership!

In 2025 the ASL Council determined and approved new membership rates, taking effect in 2026. They reflect the changing costs of printing and mailing hard copies of our journals, along with the fact that essentially all of our members now have internet access and can download journal articles online.

The basic cost of membership for 2026 has decreased. Regular one-year memberships will cost USD 80 (with corresponding amounts in euros and GBP). Memberships for students and unemployed or emeritus members will cost USD 40, and outreach memberships will cost USD 10. However, these amounts will only cover online access to our three journals. Those members who wish to receive print copies of any/all of those journals will need to pay an additional fee for each. For regular members, the additional annual fee is USD 30 for each of the Journal of Symbolic Logic and the Review of Symbolic Logic, and USD 20 for the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic. Exact amounts (including for those paying reduced fees, and also multi-year memberships) appear on the webpage https://www.cambridge.org/core/membership/asl/membership. You will notice that it is still possible to select any combination of the three journals to receive in print. What has changed is that the prices for the various combinations are now different.

• Open-Access Options for ASL Journals. Authors of research articles in logic, who may wish to consider submitting those articles to the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, the Journal of Symbolic Logic, or the Review of Symbolic Logic, should be aware that these journals now offer the option of open-access publication. Indeed, many universities now have contracts with Cambridge University Press, our publisher, that allow their researchers to publish open-access articles at no charge. These are often called read-and-publish or transformative agreements.

All three journals are now hybrid. They still accept article submissions exactly as before, and they will still publish accepted articles just as before if the author does not opt for open access. However, for authors with mandates to publish open-access articles (or who simply prefer to do so), this option is also available. Details appear at https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/open-access-policies. To ascertain whether your university has an agreement as described above, use https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/open-access-policies/read-and-publish-agreements.

• Call for Conference Proposals. The ASL Committee on Logic in North America requests proposals for the 2027 ASL North American Annual Meeting, to be held some time during the first five months of 2027. The committee seeks a university somewhere in North America and a local committee to host the meeting and handle the local arrangements. The ASL North American meetings ordinarily cycle geographically between midwest (Ames, Iowa 2024), west (Las Cruces, New Mexico 2025), and east (Philadelphia, PA 2026). Thus, for 2027, the committee seeks a location in the midwest. However, any reasonable proposal will be considered. For more information, interested parties should contact Dima Sinapova, the Committee Chair (email: e-mail: dima.sinapova@rutgers.edu).

The Committee on Logic in Europe seeks proposals for hosting the Logic Colloquium during the summer of 2027. Inquiries should be sent to the committee chair Andrew Arana (e-mail: andrew.arana@univ-lorraine.fr).

• Student Travel Awards: ASL and ASL-Sponsored Meetings. Student members of the ASL may apply for travel grants to ASL and ASL-sponsored meetings, as identified in the listings below. To be considered for a travel award, please (1) send a letter of application, and (2) ask your thesis supervisor to send a short recommendation letter describing your progress as a student. The application letter should be brief (preferably one page) and should include: (1) your name; (2) your home institution; (3) your thesis supervisor’s name; (4) a one-paragraph description of your studies and work in logic, and a paragraph indicating why it is important to attend the meeting; (5) your estimate of the travel expenses you will incur; and (6) (voluntary) indication of your gender and minority status. Women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Application by email is encouraged; put “ASL travel application” in the subject line of your message.

The deadlines for the 2026 Logic Colloquium and the 2026 North American Annual Meeting have passed. For all travel grants to other ASL and ASL-sponsored meetings, student membership in the ASL is a prerequisite for travel grant applications. These applications and accompanying recommendations should be submitted via email to e-mail: asl@uconn.edu or to the ASL Business Office (ASL, Department of Mathematics, University of Connecticut, 341 Mansfield Road, U-1009, Storrs, CT 06269-1009, USA). They must be received at least three months prior to the start of the meeting. Decisions will be communicated at least two months prior to the meeting.

Official ASL meetings include the Logic Colloquium, the North American Annual Meeting, the Simposio Latino Americano de Lógica Matemática, the Asian Logic Conference, the ASL Winter Meeting, and the ASL-APA annual joint meeting. Many other logic meetings are sponsored by the ASL; a list of these appears below, followed by a further list of other upcoming meetings in logic.

• ASL Sponsorship of Meetings. The ASL often sponsors research meetings and conferences in logic, all over the world. Sponsorship is granted to those meetings that uphold high standards of scholarship and rigor and whose purpose is in concert with the mission of the ASL. Student members of the ASL may apply to the ASL for travel support to attend sponsored meetings, as described above, and a report on each sponsored meeting subsequently appears in the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic. Meeting organizers who are ASL members and wish to request ASL sponsorship of their meetings should do so at least five months before the beginning of the meeting, following the instructions at http://aslonline.org/sponsorship-of-meetings/.
