International Category Theory Conference
CT 2016

Dalhousie University / St. Mary's University, Halifax, August 7 - 13, 2016

The International Category Theory Conference (CT) covers all areas of pure and applied category theory. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: higher dimensional categories, categorical logic, applications of categories in algebra, topology, combinatorics, and other areas of mathematics, applications of category theory to computer science, physics and other mathematical sciences. All those interested in category theory and its applications are welcome.

This year, the meeting will take place immediately following the AARMS summer school at Dalhousie University, which features, among other things, a course on higher category theory and categorical logic.
