The 1st International Summer School for 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.
