About the Evert Willem Beth Foundation

The Evert Willem Beth Foundation was established in 1978 pursuant to the will of Ms Cornelia Beth-Pastoor. The Foundation’s aim is to continue and extend the work of the Dutch logician Evert Willem Beth. It encourages philosophical research and the teaching of philosophy by organising symposiums and lectures and providing funding.

Since 2001, the Foundation has financed the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize for outstanding PhD dissertations in logic, language and information, awarded by the Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI).
