The Gödel Prize 2020 - Call for Nominations Deadline: February 15, 2020 The Gödel Prize for outstanding papers in the area of theoretical computer science is sponsored jointly by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and the Association for Computing Machinery, Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (ACM SIGACT). The award is presented annually, with the presentation taking place alternately at the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP) and the ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC). The 28th Gödel Prize will be awarded at the 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming to be held during 8-12 July, 2020 in Beijing. The Prize is named in honour of Kurt Gödel in recognition of his major contributions to mathematical logic and of his interest, discovered in a letter he wrote to John von Neumann shortly before von Neumann’s death, in what has become the famous “P versus NP” question. The Prize includes an award of USD 5,000. Award Committee: The 2020 Award Committee consists of Samson Abramsky (University of Oxford), Anuj Dawar (Chair, University of Cambridge), Joan Feigenbaum (Yale University), Robert Krauthgamer (Weizmann Institute), Daniel Spielman (Yale University) and David Zuckerman (University of Texas, Austin).
