István Németi is turning to be 80 in 2022. We are pleased to announce that we are organizing a conference in the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics honoring this occasion. The event contains 3 consecutive afternoons. Each day is focusing on a theme of István's main research topics (Algebraic Logic, Relativity Theory, Methodology of Science). The conference will be closed by a roundtable discussion about the future of algebraic logic and its possible applications.
