Adjoint School 2024

Are you interested in applying category-theoretic methods to problems outside of pure mathematics? Apply to the Adjoint School!

Apply here. And do it soon.

• December 31, 2023. Application Due.

• February – May, 2024. Learning Seminar.

• June 10 – 14, 2024. In-person Research Week at the University of Oxford, UK.

Participants are divided into four-person project teams. Each project is guided by a mentor and a teaching assistant. 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.
