It is a three day meeting, which starts with a day of tutorials (Friday 4th June) aimed at students and newcomers to category theory, followed by a day and a half of research talks (Saturday, 5st June and Sunday, 6th June). There will be a series of invited presentations (TBA). The remaining research talks are solicited from the participants. If you wish to give a talk please let us know by sending an abstract and title to Robin Cockett or Craig Pastro (see e-mail address below) before the 21st May. Student participation at FMCS is particularly encouraged. There are limited funds to provide support for students who wish to attend the workshop (see below). __________________________________________________________ Support for graduate students: __________________________________________________________ We particularly encourage graduate students to attend FMCS and to present their work. If you wish to give a presentation at FMCS you should send a title and a brief abstract to Robin Cockett (robin@cpsc.ucalgary.ca). We would like to receive these abstracts before beginning of May so that we can arrange the schedule before the meeting itself. Some limited funding is available to support graduate students who wish to attend FMCS. To apply for this money, you should contact Robin Cockett with the following information: 1) A one-page email letter stating your background as well as why you are interested in attending. 2) The letter should also state whether you have access to any other funding to attend. 3) An email letter of reference from your supervisor or an appropriate other person.
