The EACSL was founded on July 14th 1992, by computer scientists and logicians from 14 countries. The Association acts as an international professional non-profit organization.
Computer science logic is an interdisciplinary field between mathematical logic and computer science. The EACSL promotes computer science logic in the areas of scientific research and education. It supports both basic and application oriented research. The association also intends to advance the connections between basic research and industrial applications.
Each year the Association organizes the Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL) and grants the Ackermann Award, for outstanding dissertations in Logic in Computer Science.

Statement about the war in Ukraine
The European Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL), represented by its board, expresses great sorrow and concern for the war in Ukraine and the attack on the freedom and peace of its population. It condemns the illegal and brutal invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
EACSL supports the values of peaceful and harmonious coexistence of people building towards universal scientific knowledge. To this aim, we believe that geopolitical divergences among nations should uniquely be resolved through the legitimate means of international diplomacy and that the violent invasion of a sovereign nation and its consequences on the population are never acceptable.
We join the expression of concern of academic and scientific institutions around the world for the suffering imposed on the Ukrainian population. We support all Ukranian scientific institutions and researchers and also those Russian citizens and members of the scientific community who are opposing the military aggression pursued by their own country.
EACSL will do all it can to financially support Ukranian researchers and researchers working in Ukraine to enable them to attend EACSL conferences and workshops.
