************************************************************************************************************
We are happy to announce that the 21st edition of the Reasoning Web
Summer School (RW 2025) will take place from September 25-28, 2025 in
Istanbul, Turkey. RW 2025 is part of Declarative AI 2025, which also
includes the 9th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning
(RuleML+RR) and DecisionCAMP 2025, both held from September 22-24, 2025.
The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate recent
advances in reasoning techniques and relevant topics related to
ontologies, rules, logic, the semantic web, linked data, and knowledge
graph applications. The summer school is primarily intended for
individuals who are currently pursuing or have recently completed
postgraduate degrees (PhD or MSc). However, the school also welcomes the
participation of researchers at later career stages who wish to become
acquainted with the area or deepen their understanding of recent
developments. The RW school is a great venue for meeting like-minded
researchers and exchanging with an engaging and approachable group of
international lecturers!
