About the VvL

The Dutch Association for Logic and Philosophy of the Exact Sciences is known in Dutch as the Vereniging voor Logica en Wijsbegeerte van de Exacte Wetenschappen, commonly abbreviated as VvL.

Logic lies at the crossroads of philosophy, mathematics, and linguistics, where it explores meaning and valid inference. It also forms the foundation of computer science and artificial intelligence, with numerous modern-day applications.

The Association represents not only logicians in academia but also aims to serve everyone with an interest in logic — whether pure or applied — as well as in the philosophy of the exact sciences. It is also committed to promoting these fields to a wider audience.

The VvL regularly organises events and supports initiatives within its areas of focus. In addition, it serves as a de facto alumni organisation for the logic community.

More information about the Association's history can be found in this document. A biography of one of its founders, E.W. Beth, is available here (in Dutch).
