CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
SEVENTH SYMPOSIUM ON COMPOSITIONAL STRUCTURES (SYCO 7)

Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia
30-31 March 2020

http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/syco/7/
========

The Symposium on Compositional Structures (SYCO) is an
interdisciplinary series of meetings aiming to support the growing
community of researchers interested in the phenomenon of
compositionality, from both applied and abstract perspectives, and in
particular where category theory serves as a unifying common language.
Previous SYCO events have been held at University of Birmingham,
University of Strathclyde, University of Oxford, Chapman University,
and University of Leicester.

The next SYCO, to be held at Tallinn University of Technology, will
host 2 invited talks and 14 contributed talks. Topics range from
logical methods in computer science, to higher category theory,
through applications of categories in probability and linguistics.
