About CLAR 2027
The interplay between logic and argumentation has a long history, from ancient Aristotle’s logic to very recent formal argumentation in artificial intelligence. The collective discussions from both sides have captured diverse kinds of reasoning patterns and dialogue activities in various formal and intuitive ways, with potential applications in artificial intelligence.
Established in 2016 as a workshop hosted by Zhejiang University, the CLAR series has been increasingly successful and become an international event and discussion forum in the two areas of logic and argumentation.
Our aim for CLAR 2027 is to be a platform for the advancement of the existing discussions within each of the areas above, to span bridges between their different traditions, and finally to open argumentation to new applications and other areas in artificial intelligence, such as legal reasoning, explainable AI, ethical dilemmas, reasoning about uncertainty and knowledge representation, etc.

CLAR 2027, the 7th event of the series, will be held on 4–5 July 2027 at Shandong University in Jinan, China. It is immediately followed by the CLAR 2027 Summer School on 6–10 July 2027.

DEON 2027
CLAR 2027 is closely preceded by DEON 2027, the 18th International Conference on Deontic Logic and Normative Systems, whose general theme is Normativity under Uncertainty. DEON 2027 will take place at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, from 29 June to 1 July 2027. Researchers interested in both events are welcome to attend them consecutively.
