[HoTT] announcing the HoTTEST summer school (save the dates)

['EMILY RIEHL' via Homotopy Type Theory]

We're delighted to announce the HoTTEST Summer School, which will take 
place online everywhere in the world during the months of July and 
August 2022.

The school will run both synchronously and asynchronously. The lectures 
will be delivered live (between 2:30-4pm UTC) and paired with various 
tutorial sessions run by teaching assistants. The course will also 
feature a discord-based all-hours Q&A and an online archive of all 
course materials so that participants can follow along on their own 
schedule.

This school is for everyone and anyone with some familiarity with 
abstract mathematics or theoretical computer science and an itching to 
learn about homotopy type theory. Our goal is to make homotopy type 
theory accessible to, and inclusive of, everyone who is interested, 
regardless of cultural background, age, ability, formal education, 
ethnicity, gender identity, or expression. We believe HoTT is for 
everyone, and are committed to fostering a kind, inclusive environment.

The first part of the course will include parallel introductions to 
homotopy type theory and formalization given by Ulrik Buchholtz, Martín 
Hötzel Escardó, Dan Licata, Anders Mörtberg, Paige North, Emily Riehl, 
and Egbert Rijke. The summer school will then close with a series of 
colloquia introducing more advanced topics and exciting areas for 
further study delivered by Pierre Cagne, Favonia, Jonas Frey, Jon 
Sterling, and Chaitanya Leena Subramaniam.  A team of teaching 
assistants which includes Elisabeth Bonnevier, Tom de Jong, Jarl G. 
Taxerås Flaten, Artem Gureev, Perry Hart, Astra Kolomatskaia, Amélia 
Liao, Jacob Neumann, Johannes Schipp von Branitz, and Christopher 
Stough-Brown among others, will lead problem sessions and assist 
students with exercises.

A central aim of the summer school is to build community among all of 
the participants, irrespective of geography.  To further this, we will 
hold some online social events (e.g. game nights) for the summer school 
staff and participants.

More details about the course logistics and the scientific program will 
be announced soon on the summer school website:

In the meanwhile, we invite everyone to join us on the summer school 
Discord group to hang out and get to know one another:

If you would like to participate in some background surveys that will 
shape the design of the curriculum, please register for the Discord by 
May 15th, but students are also welcome to join in at any time.

On behalf of the organizers,
Carlo Angiuli, Dan Christensen, Martín Hötzel Escardó, Chris Kapulkin, 
Dan Licata, Emily Riehl, Egbert Rijke
