== Autumn school "Proof and Computation"
Fischbachau, Germany, 13th to 19th September 2026
https://www.mathematik.uni-muenchen.de/~schwicht/pc26.php

An international autumn school "Proof and Computation" will be held from
13th to 19th September 2026 at Aurachhof[1] in Fischbachau near Munich.
Its aim is to bring together young researchers in the fields of
Foundations of Mathematics, Computer Science and Philosophy. Previous
autumn schools in this series were PC25, PC24, PC23, PC22, PC21, PC19,
PC18, PC17, PC16.

=== SCOPE

- Predicative Foundations
- Constructive Mathematics and Type Theory
- Computation in Higher Types
- Extraction of Programs from Proofs

=== COURSES

- Manfred Droste (Leipzig): Universal Information Systems
- Tom de Jong (Nottingham): Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory
(Univalent Foundations)
- Dominik Kirst (Paris): Constructive (Meta-)Mathematics and Synthetic
Computability
- Keisuke Nakano (Sendai) and Masahiko Sato (Kyoto): Algebra and
Geometry of the Lambda-Calculus
- Dirk Pattinson (Canberra): Coinduction and Infinite Data
- Daniel Wessel (Munich): Gentzen's Legacy within and beyond Hilbert's
Programme

Celebrating the 10th edition of the autumn school we have 3 additional
evening lectures:

- Thierry Coquand (Gothenburg): tba
- Gitta Kutyniok (Munich): Reliable and Sustainable AI: From
Mathematical Foundations to Next Generation AI Computing
- Hannes Leitgeb (Munich): The Logic of Reason

=== WORKING GROUPS

There will be an opportunity to form ad-hoc groups working on specific
projects, but also to discuss in more general terms the vision of
constructing correct programs from proofs.

=== HOW TO GET THERE

The default arrival time is Sunday afternoon, and departure time
Saturday after breakfast.
There are frequent direct trains from Munich Hauptbahnhof, departing at
tracks 27-36, in the direction to Bayerischzell.
Trains depart for instance 15:29, 16:29, 17:29 with arrival in
Fischbachau at 16:44, 17:44, 18:44.
From the train station in Fischbachau it is an easy 200 meter walk to
Aurachhof[2]; see also its website[1] for directions.

=== APPLICATIONS

Graduate or PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers are invited
to apply. Please apply by following the steps described in

https://www.math.lmu.de/~herrmann/pc26-application/

Note that an application consists in particular of a motivation letter
(containing a self-introduction including research interests).
Students are furthermore required to provide a letter of recommendation,
preferably from the thesis adviser.
The letter of recommendation should be either sent by the applicant
themself together with the application or by the recommender by email to

Valentin Herrmann <herrmann+pc26 (at) math (.) lmu (.) de>

Deadline for applications: June 1, 2026. Applicants will be notified by
June 29, 2026.

=== FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The workshop is supported by the Udo Keller Stiftung (Hamburg)[3].
Successful applicants with funding problems may apply for financial
support covering accommodation including meals for the days of the
autumn school (ca. 116 Euro per day).
