Topic

General proof theory studies how proofs are structured, and not primarily what can be proved in particular formal systems. It has been developed within the framework of Gentzen-style proof theory, as well as in categorial proof theory.

As Dag Prawitz's monograph "Natural Deduction" (1965) paved the way for this development – he also proposed the term "General Proof Theory" – it is most appropriate to use this topic to celebrate 50 years of this work.
