#### General Information
Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) is an international conference on practical and theoretical topics in all areas that consider formal verification and certification as an essential paradigm. CPP spans areas of computer science, mathematics, logic, and education. CPP is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG. For more information please visit https://popl21.sigplan.org/home/CPP-2021
CPP 2021 will be co-located with POPL 2021 and will take place on 17-19 January 2021, as a virtual meeting, where all papers are presented online. For more information about virtual conference organization have a look here: https://popl21.sigplan.org/venue/POPL-2021-venue CPP will also have both long and short versions of presentations, just that for us the short versions are 10 minutes long (not 5).
#### Call for Lightning Talks
CPP 2021 will include a session of 5-minute talks where attendees can present work-in-progress, preliminary research results, and emerging topics. Submission of such lightning talks proposals is lightweight: all we need is a title, an abstract, and the author names, affiliations, and contact information.
