December 31, 2023. Application Due.
February - May, 2024. Learning Seminar.
June 10 - 14, 2024. In-person Research Week at the University of Oxford, UK.
John Baez (Dec 01 2023 at 18:27):Participants are divided into four-person project teams. Each project is guided by a mentor and a TA. The Adjoint School has two main components: an online learning seminar that meets regularly between February and June, and an in-person research week held in the summer adjacent to the Applied Category Theory Conference.
During the learning seminar you will read, discuss, and respond to papers chosen by the project mentors. Every other week a pair of participants will present a paper which will be followed by a group discussion. After the learning seminar each pair of participants will also write a blog post, based on the paper they presented, for The n-Category Café.
Projects and Mentors:
Properties of Double Fibrations - Mentor: Dorette Pronk
Application of Skew Monoidal Categories - Mentor: Niccolò Veltri
Critical Pairs for String Diagram Rewriting - Mentor: Koko Muroya
Modelling Uncertainty with Markov Categories - Mentor: Paolo Perrone

Dylan Braithwaite (Dec 30 2023 at 19:29):I notice the application form doesn't include anywhere to specify preferences for the projects. How will the projects be assigned?
Valeria de Paiva (Dec 30 2023 at 22:07):Hi @Dylan Braithwaite in the year that I was a mentor (2020) the organizers did the choosing of people/project, I think

Hi Dylan! Sorry for just seeing this now but the final part of the application did have a section meant for specifying the preferences for the projects.
