This will be the second Asian Logic Conference, as its status changed from an ASL (Association for Symbolic Logic) sponsored meeting to an official ASL meeting by action of the ASL Council in May 2016. The first official ALC2017 was held in Daejeon, Korea. It contains the latest scientific developments in the fields of mathematical logic and its applications, logic in computing, and philosophical logic. The ALC series also aims to promote mathematical logic in the Asia-Pacific region and bring together logicians from Asia and elsewhere to share information and ideas.

A draft funding plan published on Monday proposes earmarking €111m from 2018 to 2020 for researchers looking to investigate the causes and effects of migration, with plans for a further €139m to be invested in research into "governance" issues, such as the rise of extremism in the Middle East and the Balkans, the strength of democracy and the future of the post-war order of international organizations. The intention, say the plan's authors, "is to address the concerns of European citizens regarding migration, the fourth industrial revolution and the challenges of governance." Other topics in the social research plan include illicit trade in cultural goods, the impact of technology on children and innovative approaches to cultural tourism - the latter to be coordinated with EU structural funds for regional development.
Additional funds will study the impact of digitalization on industry and society, in the so-called fourth industrial revolution. So far, the Commission has published five of the twelve draft work programmes, specifying how it plans to spend around €30 billion on research topics from 2018 to 2020. However, the specific nature of the themes that belong to the humanities and cultural sciences makes it extremely difficult to say exactly what is 'original new' or 'innovative'.

Research Performance Evaluation using SciVal
Staff at the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) often provide informal guidance to proposers. Most importantly, it is a project that will benefit undergraduate education and directly improve students' learning opportunities. While this guide can provide valuable information for proposal writing in general, it has been prepared specifically for programs in the Department of Undergraduate Education (DUE).
NSF Guide for Proposal Writing
Ultimately, proposals are peer-reviewed in panels composed of colleagues from science, mathematics, engineering and technology disciplines or related fields, and success in obtaining funding depends largely on the judgments of the reviewers and their written assessments . The best proposals are those to which the reviewers respond: "Sure, I wish I had thought of that!". As programs, priorities, technologies, funding levels and many other details change, the advice in this Guide will also change over time.
CONGRATULATIONS!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The ERC program supports frontier science in any field of research and is recognized as one of the most prestigious funding schemes in Europe. It is not surprising, competition is significant and only the most outstanding applicants who are able to convince of the excellence and the breakthrough nature of the project are funded. Researchers of any nationality with 7-12 years of experience since completion of the first PhD are eligible to apply (be aware that this window may be extended by eligible career breaks, e.g. maternity leave, long-term illness or clinical training).
ERC Consolidator Grant Training
The ERC Consolidator Grant offers an excellent opportunity for researchers to further consolidate their independence, allowing those essential steps needed to achieve a long-term scientific vision.
