**The Adjoint School 2025

*** December 1st, 2024. Application Due.

Are you interested in applying category-theoretic methods to problems outside of pure mathematics? Apply to the Adjoint School!

Participants are divided into four-person project teams. Each project is guided by a mentor and a TA. The Adjoint School has two main components: an online learning seminar that meets regularly, and an in-person research week held in the week adjacent to the Applied Category Theory Conference.

During the learning seminar you will read, discuss, and respond to papers chosen by the project mentors. Every other week a pair of participants will present a paper which will be followed by a group discussion. After the learning seminar each pair of participants will also write a blog post, based on the paper they presented, for The n-Category Café.
