EU flag and COST acknowledgement
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

EuroProofNet is the European research network on digital proofs. EuroProofNet aims at boosting the interoperability and usability of proof systems. It is a COST action started on November 2021 gathering more than 578 researchers from 47 different countries, chaired by Frédéric Blanqui and a Core group. EuroProofNet organizes meetings and schools (see coming events below), and provides grants to its members for short-term scientific missions in another country.

To join the action, simply apply to the working groups you are interested in (it is free and open to anyone interested by proof systems)!

The EuroProofNet website provides also many useful information about proof tools, research groups, third-party schools and conferences, job offers, teaching material and websites, useful links on gender balance issues, etc. (check the tabs on the top and the menu icon on the top right corner).

Sad news:

EuroProofNet is sad to announce that Gilles Dowek, founder of Deducteam and the Dedukti logical framework, which plays a central role in EuroProofNet, died on 21 July 2025 at 58 years old. He was vice leader of the WG4 on proof libraries from 2021 to 2022. He made important contributions not only in logic (unification, automated theorem proving, type theory) but also in quantum programming languages and philosophy. He received several awards from the French Academy of Sciences. He was a brilliant speaker and teacher, and published several books in computer science, logic and philosophy. He has been very active in promoting the teaching of computer science in high school and contributed to the definition of the corresponding cursus. Finally, he supervised or co-supervised many PhD students.
