Any master’s thesis with a topic in logic or philosophy of the exact sciences written as part of a master’s program at a Dutch university in 2021 was eligible for the prize. The master’s thesis prize committee has evaluated this year’s submissions, and considered the field to be extremely competitive. They were delighted with the high quality of rigor and thought that all theses displayed.

Without further ado, here are this year’s winners:

1. Anna Dmitrieva (UvA, supervised by Nick Bezhanishvili & Tommaso Moraschini). Thesis title: Positive Modal Logic Beyond Distributivity: Duality, Preservation and Completeness.
