SCOPE



We are very happy to announce that the tenth installment of BLAST will take
place at the University of Denver, where its inaugural meeting took place
back in 2008! After a full decade of being hosted in various universities,
BLAST returns to its birthplace. The BLAST Conference Series focuses
on *B*oolean
Algebras, *L*attices, Algebraic Logic and Quantum Logic, Universal *A*lgebra,
*S*et Theory, and Set-theoretic and Point-free *T*opology. Its full history
involves the following universities: University of Denver (2008), New
Mexico State University (2009), University of Colorado, Boulder (2010),
University of Kansas (2011), Chapman University (2013), New Mexico State
University (2015), University of North Texas (2015), Vanderbilt University
(2017). The central BLAST web page can be found here:

Science Foundation and the University of Denver. BLAST aims at bringing
together researchers and students in the above-mentioned diverse areas and
