The Category Theory "Octoberfest" is an annual workshop, traditionally
held in October, bringing together researchers in category theory and
its applications.
This year's meeting will be hosted in the Department of Mathematics
and Statistics at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada.
There will be an informal welcome reception in the evening of
October 22. The scientific program starts on October 23, and
consists of one and a half days of research talks.
Research talks
If you wish to give a talk, please let us know by sending an email
to selinger@mathstat.dal.ca, by October 1. Please also send a title
and abstract to the same address. Time slots are limited, so please
register early if possible.
Student support
We encourage participation by graduate students and postdocs at the
workshop. Students will pay a reduced registration fee. We will also
be able to provide limited financial support to students and
postdocs for travel and accommodations; if you are interested in
this, please email selinger@mathstat.dal.ca by September 20.
Please also arrange for a brief letter of recommendation from your
supervisor, to be sent to the same email address by September 20.
Your supervisor's letter should also state whether you have access
to funding from other sources, and how much.
Accommodations
The website contains a list of hotels and bed & breakfasts that we
recommend, some with special workshop rates. Please book early, as
availability is limited, particular in the bed & breakfasts.
Registration
If you would like to attend the meeting, please register by emailing
selinger@mathstat.dal.ca. There will be a reasonable on-site
registration fee to cover workshop costs.
Arrival and location
The workshop will take place in the Chase building on Dalhousie's
main campus. There will be updated information and maps on the website.
