    Resignation of MLQ Editorial Board & Launch of new diamond open access journal ZML

    On 7 April 2025, the entire editorial board of the journal MLQ: Mathematical Logic Quarterly, published by the commercial publisher Wiley, has announced its resignation since they believe in open science, diamond open access, and the control of journals by the academic community free from profit-oriented interests. Simultaneously, the DVMLG (German logic association) announced that the journal will no longer be published under the auspices of the DVMLG. In the past, the MLQ editorial office was based at the ILLC; ILLC staff member Nick Bezhanishvili is one of the editors who resigned.

    Those editors free from contractual obligations with Wiley have launched a new English-language diamond open access journal ZML: Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik.

  • App voor betere communicatie met dove en slechthorende kinderen

    SignLab Amsterdam, onderdeel van de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA), werkt samen met Koninklijke Auris Groep (Auris) aan een app om ouders van dove en slechthorende kinderen te ondersteunen bij het leren van Nederlandse Gebarentaal (NGT). Onlangs is een ZonMw-subsidie toegekend voor de ontwikkeling van deze app. De app 'ZininNGT' helpt ouders sneller en meer zinnen te leren in NGT. Dit versterkt de (taal)ontwikkeling van dove en slechthorende (DSH) kinderen.
