CALL FOR APPLICATIONS




BACKGROUND


Types are pervasive in programming and information technology. A type

defines a formal interface between software components, allowing the

automatic verification of their connections, and greatly enhancing the

robustness and reliability of computations and communications. In rich

dependent type theories, the full functional specification of a

program can be expressed as a type. Type systems have rapidly evolved

over the past years, becoming more sophisticated, capturing new

aspects of the behaviour of programs and the dynamics of their

execution.


The aim of this summer school is to provide advanced training,

especially to PhD students and early-career researchers, in all

aspects of the theory and practice of type theory and applications.



LECTURERS AND COURSES


1. Matthieu Sozeau (IRIF)

   Introduction to Dependent Type Theory


2. Enrico Tassi (INRIA Sophia-Antipolis)

   The Coq proof assistant and the Mathematical Components library


3. Mariangiola Dezani-Ciancaglini (University of Turin)

   Session Types: an introduction


4. Fredrik Nordvall Forsberg (University of Strathclyde)

   Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory


5. Danel Ahman (INRIA Paris)

   Program Verification with F*




APPLICATION


The capacity of the summer school is up to 40 students.


6 nights accommodation costs 228 EUR.


A maximum of 30 students (PhD students / early-career researchers) from countries involved in EUTYPES can receive a grant from the COST action to partially cover their costs.


To apply for a place in the school and a grant, please fill out (as soon as possible) the form at https://goo.gl/kMTQNw .

each day of the year, and has been referred to as the Jerusalem of the

Balkans. Ohrid and Lake Ohrid are on UNESCO's lists of cultural and

natural World Heritage sites.


The school will be held in the Congress Centre of Ohrid, which is also

the accommodation site.
