                      Technische Universitaet Dresden

Preliminary Program and Call for Participation

We plan the following courses and workshop for graduate students and
researchers.  Like for last year's events on Proof Theory and Computation
(Dresden) and Proof, Computation, Complexity (Tuebingen), we aim at a
meeting where people have plenty of time to exchange ideas. The summer
school consists of eight advanced courses; the workshop takes place in the
last two days.

For participating in the summer school we ask for a small fee (currently
undetermined).  We are looking into the possibility of providing grants to
participants who ask for them.  Registration is requested, please send an
email to <mailto:PTEvent@Janeway.Inf.TU-Dresden.DE>, making sure you
include a very brief bio (5-10 lines) stating your experience, interests,
home page, etc.  We will select applicants in case of excessive demand.  
We will provide assistance in finding an accommodation in Dresden.
