Barry Cooper was an influential figure for many years in British Mathematical Logic and Computability Theory. He has left an extensive legacy in this country and world wide in terms of his own research, the research students that he trained and inspired, and his public outreach work in promoting computability.
This one day event is open to all interested in Logic and Computability, and also seeks to bring together those whom Barry influenced, or who were inspired by his work, and to remember the contributions that he made.
