Dear colleagues,

I am writing to solicit applications for researchers who wish to attend a semester program at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA to take place from January 21 - May 29, 2020 on the theme of Higher Categories and Categorification. A complementary program on Quantum Symmetries will be happening in parallel.

More details about the scientific plan for the program can be found here:

You’ll note in particular the program’s goal to bring together both users of and experts in higher category theory.

MSRI supports research affiliates in three categories:

Research Professors (applications due October 1)

Research Members (applications due December 1)

Postdoctoral Fellows (applications due December 1)

I am happy to answer any questions about MSRI or the application process. Logistical questions can also be addressed to Chris Marshall, the MSRI program director (chris@msri.org).

Regards,

Emily Riehl
