Workshop on Proof Theory
Ghent, September 6-7, 2018
http://www.proofsociety.org/workshop-2018/


The 1st International Summer School on Proof Theory in Ghent is arranged under 
the auspices of The Proof Society, and is sponsored by the Kurt Gödel Society.  
The Proof Society has recently been formed to support the notion of proof in 
its broadest sense, through a series of suitable activities; to be therefore 
inclusive in reaching out to all scientific areas which consider proof as an 
object in their studies; to enable the community to shape its future by 
identifying, formulating and communicating its most important goals; to 
actively promote proof to increase its visibility and representation.

The aim of the summer school is to cover basic and advanced topics in proof 
theory.  The focus of the first edition will be on structural proof theory, 
ordinal analysis, provability logic, automated theorem proving, and 
philosophical aspects of proof. Other areas like reverse mathematics, proof 
mining, and proof complexity will be covered at the workshop, and in follow up 
summer schools.  The intended audience is advanced master students, PhD 
students, postdocs and experienced researchers in mathematics, computer science 
and philosophy.

The summer school is co-located with a workshop on proof theory in Ghent (6-7 
September).  The workshop will be the inaugural meeting of The Proof Society. 
Students are invited to apply with an informal abstract (1 page) to the poster 
session which will be held as part of the workshop.
