=================================================================
BACKGROUND
CaCS2022 is an online event (via Zoom) for research students
(Honours/Masters/PhD) in category theory and related disciplines from
around the world to meet each other and share their work. Everyone is
welcome to attend the event. There will be 50 minute talks from invited
speakers and a series of 20 minute contributed talks by research students,
split across two sessions each day — the first aimed at Australasian and
American time zones and the second at Australasian, African and European
time zones. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and talk to
each other in smaller groups at various times throughout the symposium.
There will be an additional in-person component at MATRIX in Creswick,
Victoria (Australia) for a small number of Australian-based students, with
partially-catered accommodation covered. Those interested in this, please
fill the registration form before Friday, August 19. Since places are
limited, we ask you to write a short paragraph explaining how you would
benefit from attending in person. The decision will be communicated shortly
after this deadline.
This symposium is supported by MATRIX and AMSI. To support post-symposium
research collaboration between PhD student participants, MATRIX and AMSI
are providing funding through the MATRIX-AMSI PhD Student Research
Collaboration Scheme. For more information, see
