Mauno Koivisto Centre Building, Turku Technology Center



The School on Specification, Refinement, and Verification is the second event in a series of four "Summer Schools on Foundations of Computing Science" organised by the European Educational Forum (EEF). The EEF is a joint initiative of the three interuniversitary research schools BRICS (Basic Research in Computer Science) from Denmark, IPA (Institute for Programming Research and Algorithmics) from the Netherlands, TUCS (Turku Centre for Computer Science) from Finland.

The goal of EEF is to organize various forms of activities aimed at the education of Ph.D.'s and young researchers in current research trends in computer science.

This school is sponsored by the EU via the TMR network "Synergos", so young researchers (up to 35 years of age) from the EU can apply for a grant, covering for part of the costs for travel and subsistence.
