June 26-29, 2024, Nancy, France

Satisfiability (SAT), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), and Automated Reasoning (AR) continue to make rapid advances and find novel uses in a wide variety of applications, both in computer science and beyond. The SAT/SMT/AR Summer School aims to bring a select group of students up to speed quickly in this exciting research area. The school continues the successful line of Summer Schools that ran from 2011 to 2022.

We are pleased to announce that the next edition of the SAT/SMT/AR Summer School will take place in *Nancy, France from June 26 to June 29, 2024*. The lectures planned this year are detailed on the website and include a mix of basic and advanced theory as well as practical sessions.

The school is intended for PhD students, Master students, and industrial practitioners who want to get a good understanding of capabilities and current research directions in the area of SAT, SMT, and Automated Reasoning. Prior knowledge in those areas is not required, but knowledge of logic, general problem solving skills, good programming and math skills are helpful.

As the number of participants is limited, all prospective participants will have to apply by filling this form:

including:

  -  a short CV (at most 3 pages, including publications, if any),
  -  a letter of motivation written by the applicant (1 page),
  -  for students, the name of a supervisor from which to ask a supporting email (1 paragraph).

The letter should explain the motivation for attending the Summer School. Based on the application letters approximately 50 participants will be chosen from all qualified applicants. Admitted participants will then be provided a link for registration. The registration cost is not yet fixed. In the worst case it will be 200€, but depending on pending sponsors we hope it will be under 100€. Students that need travel support may indicate so in the application form. Students that have a paper accepted at IJCAR and plan to attend the conference are encouraged to apply for the Woody Bledsoe award (https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcadeinc.org%2FWoodyBledsoeAward&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cff268e0f5245453531e508dc5a33f85d%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C0%7C0%7C638484427401613486%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=2pbog9Dlv%2Fs%2Br3x9rkBDgy%2FkkCqB8TWHPqGuztU2iBQ%3D&reserved=0).
