Nordic Spring School in Logic 2013

The Sophus Lie Conference Center 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. Information regarding hotels, etc can be found at the Nordfjordeid Tourist Information.

COURSE PROGRAMME (course schedule)

---------
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: an introduction to the world of large cardinals
• Katrin Tent (University of Muenster): Model theory: Simple and stable theories(Cancelled)
• Ali Enayat (University of Gothenburg): Model Theory of Arithmetic (New)
• 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 Amsterdam): 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.
