The Alfred Tarski Lectures

Following the death of Group founder Alfred Tarski in 1983, an endowment fund was established in his memory. Using income from this fund, a series of annual Alfred Tarski Lectures was inaugurated in 1989. Each spring an outstanding scholar in a field to which Tarski contributed is selected to come to Berkeley to meet with faculty and students and to deliver several lectures. (List of past Tarski lectures.)
