Adjoint School 2021 (applications due Jan 29)

[Brendan Fong]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention the fourth annual Adjoint School,
a research school in applied category theory.

The Adjoint School aims to:
- foster an open-hearted and open-minded environment where new applied
category theorists develop the skills of research,
- welcome new researchers into cutting-edge research programs in applied
category theory, and
- grow and strengthen the applied category theory community

The school has two components: a reading component, where participants read
papers and present on them over the course of a few months (February to
June), and a research component where participants meet with established
researchers to work on a project together during a week in July (this
meeting might be virtual).

This year’s mentors and research projects are:
- Simona Paoli: Double categories in applied category theory
- James Fairbanks and Evan Patterson: Categorical and computational aspects
of C-sets
- Helle Hvid Hansen and Clemens Kupke: Extensions of coalgebraic dependent
logic
- Simon Willerton: The ubiquity of enriched profunctor nuclei

We welcome applications from advanced undergraduates, PhD students,
post-docs, as well as people working outside of academia.

Members of groups which are underrepresented in the mathematics and
computer science communities are especially encouraged to apply.

More information can be found at adjointschool.com! Application deadline:
Friday, January 29, 2021.

With thanks,

Brendan
On behalf of the organizers, David Jaz Myers and Sophie Libkind
