Three Master of Logic graduates, Rodrigo Almeida, Søren Knudstorp and Raoul Koudijs, received the Best Master's Thesis Award from the Dutch Association for Logic and Philosophy of the Exact Sciences (VvL). During the award ceremony at the annual VvL seminar on 8 December 2023, all thesis prize winners gave a short presentation of their thesis.

This year the VvL awarded three prizes, all to graduates of the University of Amsterdam:

Rodrigo Almeida (supervised by Nick Bezhanishvili & Tommaso Moraschini)
Thesis: ‘Polyatomic Logics and Generalised Blok-Esakia Theory with Applications to Orthologic and KTB’

Søren Brinck Knudstorp (supervised by Johan van Benthem & Nick Bezhanishvili)
Thesis: ‘Modal Information Logics’

Raoul Koudijs (supervised by Balder ten Cate)
Thesis: ‘Learning Modal Formulas via Dualities’

Any Master's thesis with a topic in logic or in philosophy of the exact sciences (interpreted broadly, including, for example, foundations of mathematics and computer science, applications in artificial intelligence, models of cognition, causal inference, and the formal study of natural language) is eligible to be nominated for the award, provided that it is written as part of a Master's programme at a Dutch university. A thesis must be nominated by the supervisor(s), and the graduation date had to lie between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022.
