The Reasoning Club

The Reasoning Club is a network of research institutes, centres, departments and groups whose research focusses on topics connected to reasoning, inference and methodology broadly construed. The goals of the Reasoning Club are to:

1. foster the exchange of ideas between researchers working on reasoning-related topics
2. develop a sense of community for researchers spread geographically and spread across disciplines

The Club achieves these goals by facilitating free movement of researchers between organisations.
