First announcement: Virtual Double Categories Workshop

[Bryce Clarke]

VIRTUAL DOUBLE CATEGORIES WORKSHOP 

Dates: Monday 28 November - Friday 2 December 2022 

Location: virtually on Zoom 

Website: [ https://bryceclarke.github.io/virtual-double-categories-workshop/ | https://bryceclarke.github.io/virtual-double-categories-workshop/ ] 

Research seminars: [ https://researchseminars.org/seminar/VirtualDoubleCategoriesWorkshop | https://researchseminars.org/seminar/VirtualDoubleCategoriesWorkshop ] 

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers to share recent 
work on double categories and their applications to domains such as 
computer science, type theory, applied category theory, and higher 
category theory. The workshop will be open for everyone to attend online, 
with recordings of the talks being uploaded after the workshop is finished. 

Speakers have been invited to give talks all along the 
“expository–technical” scale, so the workshop will hopefully be of interest 
to both those who are new to double categories and want to learn about 
the fundamental techniques and viewpoints, and also to domain 
specialists who are interested in technical results and current topics of 
active research. 

We hope that this workshop will create a snapshot of the research area 
as it currently stands together with directions for future work, as well as 
provide an invitation to people wanting to know more about the area, or 
who are wondering if the tools or ideas in double category theory might 
be useful to their own research.
