Hey, don't forget: the deadline to apply to the Adjoint School is December 1st!

This is a great thing to do if you're interested in using category theory to tackle problems in topics like quantum computation, machine learning, numerical analysis or graph theory.

Many applied category theorists I know have gotten their start at this school. You’ll work online on a research project with a mentor and a team of other students for several months. Then you’ll get together for several days at the end of May at the University of Florida, in Gainesville. Then comes the big annual conference on applied category theory, ACT2025.

You can apply here now:

Important dates:

• Application opens: November 1, 2024
• Application deadline: December 1, 2024
• School runs: January-May, 2025
• Research week dates: May 26-30, 2025

Who should apply?

Anyone, from anywhere in the world, who is interested in applying category-theoretic methods to problems outside of pure mathematics. This is emphatically not restricted to math students, but one should be comfortable working with mathematics. Knowledge of basic category-theoretic language—the definition of monoidal category for example—is encouraged.

The school will consider advanced undergraduates, PhD students, post-docs, as well as people working outside of academia. Members of groups which are underrepresented in the mathematics and computer science communities are especially encouraged to apply.
