We invite students to apply to speak in the seminar. We also would appreciate any efforts from thesis advisors and other mentors to encourage their less self-confident students to apply. The first round of applications closes next week, on April 30th, 2021. The aims of the seminar are, broadly: 1. Help the next generation of category theorists become wonderful speakers. 2. Make use of the virtual possibilities, and give opportunities to graduate students in places where there is not a category theory group or local seminar they can usefully speak in. 3. Give an opportunity to graduate students to have a global audience, especially giving more visibility to students from less famous/large groups. 4. Make a general opportunity for community among category theorists who are more isolated than those with local groups. 5. Make a series of truly intelligible talks, which we hope students and researchers around the world will enjoy and appreciate. Eugenia Cheng leads the seminar, and will assist each speaker in the preparation of their talk, to ensure that all talks are excellent. We expect to plan one talk per month initially, starting in August or September 2021. More information, including the application form, can be found on the seminar website: https://topos.site/em-cats/.
