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. Scientific Programme ==================== The summer school will provide six courses: Cut Elimination by Matthias Baaz (TU Wien) Ordinals and their Applications by Andreas Weiermann (Ghent University) Proof Theory in Philosophy by Carlo Nicolai (King's College London) Provability Logic by David Fernandez Duque (Ghent University) Proof Theory in Computer Science by Andrei Voronkov (University of Manchester) Programme Extraction by Monika Seisenberger (Swansea University) In addition there will be one special evening lecture: Selected topics from the Theory of Truth by Rafal Urbaniak (Ghent University). There will also be a poster session. The best poster will be awarded with an original painting by Andreas Weiermann. Registration and Poster Submission ================================== To register and submit a poster follow the instructions on the website. Deadline for applying for the summer school is 15 July 2018. ASL Travel Grants ================= Students who are members of the ASL, may apply for ASL travel funds. Applications have to be addressed directly to the ASL, see their web-site for more information. Applications should be received by the ASL at least three months prior to the start of the meeting, in this case by 2 June 2018.
