The World Congress on Logic and Religion (WoCoLoR) series aims to provide a forum where scholars from a wide range of disciplines, together with theologians from diverse religious traditions, can come together to exchange ideas on the latest developments concerning the relationship between logic and religion, reason and faith, and rational inquiry and divine revelation.
There have been four previous editions of WoCoLoR: João Pessoa, Brazil (2015), Warsaw, Poland (2017), Varanasi, India (2022), and Sinaia, Romania (2023). Previous keynote speakers have included Saul Kripke (Schock Prize), Laurent Lafforgue (Fields Medal), Michał Heller (Templeton Prize), Dov Gabbay, Jan Woleński, Piergiorgio Odifreddi, Purushottama Bilimoria, Richard Swinburne, and Eleonore Stump, among others.
