                        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

Silvia Ghilezan (University of Novi Sad, Serbia), 
Aleksy Schubert (Warsaw University, Poland):

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 the
form on the school website; please do so as soon as possible.

Application deadline: 2 June 2017.

Notification of acceptance and funding:

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.
