This year, the Scottish Programming Languages and Verification Summer School returns to Edinburgh. The event is organized by the Department of Computer Science at the Heriot-Watt University.
SPLV 2022 is scheduled to run one full week: Monday 11 July – Friday 15 July. Lectures will run face-to-face on-site (on the Heriot-Watt campus), with follow-up Q+A facilitated on the SPLV Slack and/or SPLS Zulip. To encourage active learning and participation, we arrange catering and accommodation on the Heriot-Watt campus. There will also be an active social program in the afternoons.

- Elizabeth Polgreen (U. Edinburgh): “An Introduction to SAT and SMT”
Specialised courses:
- Invited External Speaker: Grant Passmore (Imandra AI, USA): “Industrial verification with Imandra”
- Susmit Sarkar (St. Andrews): “An Introduction to Reasoning with Weak Memory”
- Ohad Kammar (U. Edinburgh): “Introduction to Statistical modelling with higher-order measure theory”
