Dear colleagues,

The school was previously announced on this list, but I am happy to announce that the EuroProofNet COST action will support travel costs and accommodation for a number of participants of the school. For details, including conditions of eligibility, please see the Web page of the school at https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/vtsa23/__;!!IBzWLUs!ReUI9Sd4rheyDoOXUO3IZvRJVsWbkYnzkwDKiNsKK8zmoo3uxpn8YTdi53z3mBJsJ1mu3bws53oFoKeSdSsJbC9H6q3JTwCNB36VVA$ .
