Here is a list of research groups and departments (and some
isolated logics specialists in other departments) in the
foundations of mathematics and computer science (logic, set
theory, model theory, theoretical computer science, proof theory,
programming languages).
Created by Sylvain Poirier, author of this site of introduction to set theory and
foundations of mathematics and physics, in July 2012 (see note).

Still incomplete, more links will be
added later.The creation of this page used the whole of the
following sources, thus making them obsolete (the links were not
copied but completely updated and rebuit, and many more were added):
- A big thanks to Anton
Setzer for having made, a few years ago, by far the
biggest list of links
to logic-servers world wide, though a majority of his
links were broken.
- world.logic.at
- dmoz : research groups and centers (a dying portal with a dire
lack of editors since many left, including myself, repelled by
wrong management staff and absurd bureaucratic rules)

theory homepages (a smaller list was at http://www.ipc.shizuoka.ac.jp/~styorio/links.html, now gone)
