[Important Dates] [Programme] [Travel + Registration] [Accepted Papers] [CFP] [Committees] [Conference History] [ITP 2016 Bids] The 6th conference on Interactive Theorem Proving will be held in Nanjing, China. Nanjing is situated in the heart of China — close to Shanghai and roughly equidistant between Beijing and Hong Kong. It is a former capital during the Ming Dynasty with a rich cultural heritage. The proceedings will be published as usual in the LNCS Series. There are several groups in the ITP area that are active in China. For example for the last five years there have been popular summerschools in China about Coq with 50 or so student participants each. ITPs (and TPHOLs) have never been hosted in China, and this might be an opportunity for the ITP community to foster relations with researchers from China and Asia, and for local researchers to become part of the ITP community. We welcome everybody and hope participants will have a beneficial time at ITP 2015.

Travel within Nanjing can be done cheaply via taxi and public transport. We will post detailed travel instructions nearer the time.Remember that travelling to China requires visas, but they should be relatively easy to obtain for participants.
