NORDIC LOGIC SPRING '2013

Nordic Spring School in Logic, http://scandinavianlogic.org/school
May 27-31, 2013, Sophus Lie Conference Center, Nordfjordeid, Norway

The first Nordic Spring School in Logic is organized under the auspices of
the Scandinavian Logic Society and is supported by the Department of
Mathematics of the University of Oslo.

The Sophus Lie Conference Center
http://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/about/collaboration/nordfjordeid/ is
located with a view to one of the famous fjords of Norway, in an area
particularly attractive with its nordic exotic nature and bright nights at
that time of the year. Nordfjordeid can be reached by plane from Oslo,
Bergen, or Trondheim to Sandane airport, or by coach from each of these
cities. 

COURSE PROGRAMME:
------------------------------
The school programme will comprise the following short courses on a
variety of important topics in mathematical, computational, applied and
philosophical logic, given by leading experts in their fields:

- Alexandru Baltag and Sonja Smets (University of Amsterdam): Dynamic
logics for interactive belief revision
- Dag Normann (University of Oslo): The semantics of higher-order
algorithms
- Erich Graedel (RWTH Aachen): Logics for dependence and independence
- Joan Bagaria (ICREA, University of Barcelona): Set theory
- Katrin Tent (University of Muenster): Model theory
- Kim Larsen (Aalborg University): Logic and formal verification
- Michael Rathjen (University of Leeds): Proof theory: From arithmetic to
set theory
- Nina Gierasimczuk (University of Amsterdam) and Jakub Szymanik
(University of Groningen): Logic, computability and cognition
- Thierry Coquand (University of Gothenburg): Type theory and univalent
foundations
- Wolfgang Thomas (RWTH Aachen): Logic, automata and games
- Øystein Linnebo (University of Oslo and Birkbeck, University of London):
Philosophy of logic: The problem of absolute generality

The program will be divided into two parallel streams, one mainly on
mathematical logic and the other mainly on computational, applied and
philosophical logic. The courses will target mainly PhD students, but will
also be of interest for young (and not so young) researchers in logic and
its applications. Some of the courses will be accessible to advanced
master students, too. Besides the series of courses, the school program
will also include a half-day excursion to the famous glacier
Briksdalsbreen, on Wednesday, May 29.
