<span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Are you a researcher in logic programming working on a problem that appears to be particularly challenging? Perhaps you feel a little stuck? Or, are you facing a problem that needs some LP technology you are not familiar
with? Would you like to open a discussion for collaboration? The goal of the Research Challenges Track is to help researchers overcome their challenges by providing a venue to invite input from the broader community. Contributors to this less formal track
will be given an opportunity to exchange ideas with other researchers who may have come up against, or are currently working on, similar problems. We hope the track will foster discussion and possibly even new collaborations. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none" class="">In this track, the selection process will be less formal. While authors will receive some feedback, the review process will not be typical. We do not expect contributions only from seasoned researchers. Ph.D. students
and junior researchers are more than welcome to contribute. Also, contributors outside the LP community will be given special attention. Any contribution that clearly describes a research problem relevant to logic programming will be evaluated positively.
The chance to interact with other researchers during the conference will provide additional feedback and hopefully lead to a longer-term discussion/collaboration.</span></div>
