Dear Categorists,
this is the final call for participation in the workshop
Categorical Probability and Statistics, June 5-8, online.
The goal is to provide a platform for exchange of results and ideas
between the various communities who pursue categorical approaches to
probability and statistics. The talks will be hosted on Zoom and
accompanied by discussions in a chat forum. Please register with us by
email at tfritz@pitp.ca in order to receive the relevant links.
The final schedule of the talks is available at

Our speakers come from a range of backgrounds, including category
theory, computer science, statistics, as well as noncommutative and

As an introduction to the subject itself, we're happy to also provide
the following video tutorials:

Two of these are already available at

and we plan to add the third one there soon.
We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
