This year’s international autumn school “Proof and Computation” will be held from 14th to 20th September 2025 at Haus der bayerischen Landwirtschaft in Herrsching near Munich. Its aim is to bring together young researchers in the fields of Foundations of Mathematics, Computer Science and Philosophy.
SCOPE
- Predicative Foundations
- Constructive Mathematics and Type Theory
- Computation in Higher Types
- Extraction of Programs from Proofs
COURSES
- Ulrich Berger (Swansea): Program extraction in higher-order logic
- Roberto Giuntini (Cagliari): From Sharp to Unsharp: Exploring the Frontiers of Quantum Logic
- Hajime Ishihara (Toho-University, Ota City): Uniform Spaces and Integration Theory
- Klaus Mainzer (Munich): From Proof and Computation to AI
- Dirk Pattinson (Canberra): Proof Systems for non-monotone modal logics
- Hideki Tsuiki (Kyoto): Extracting nondeterministic programs from proofs (slot 1) Fractals and coinduction (slots 2 and 3)
- Richard Zach (Calgary): Introduction to the Epsilon-Calculus
WORKING GROUPS
There will be an opportunity to form ad-hoc groups working on specific projects, but also to discuss in more general terms the vision of constructing correct programs from proofs.
HOW TO GET THERE
The default arrival time is Sunday afternoon, and departure time Saturday after breakfast. There are frequent suburban trains (line S8) from the airport and downtown Munich to Herrsching. From the train station in Herrsching one can walk to the school site; see its website for directions. There is also a bus connection.
APPLICATIONS
Graduate or PhD students and young postdoctoral researches are invited to apply. Applications (e.g. a self-introduction including research interests and motivation) should be sent to
Valentin Herrmann herrmann+pc25@math.lmu.de.
Students are required to provide a letter of recommendation, preferably from the thesis adviser.
Deadline (extended) for applications: 6th July 2025
Applicants will be notified by 25th July 2025 (new date).
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The workshop is supported by the Udo Keller Stiftung (Hamburg). Successful applicants with funding problems may apply for financial support covering accommodation including meals for the days of the autumn school (ca. 145 Euro per day).
