Dear colleagues, This is an announcement for the conference Categories for Homotopy Theory and Rewriting September 25 to September 29, 2017 CIRM, Luminy (France) The conference will deal more generally with applications of categorical methods in a broad range of fields: homotopy theory, rewriting, higher categories, computer science, geometric group theory, operads, physics, homological algebra and homotopy type theory. The invited speakers are: Steve Awodey (Carnegie Mellon University) Fr?r?dic Chapoton (CNRS, Universit? de Strasbourg) Pierre-Louis Curien (CNRS, Universit? Paris 7) Ya?l Fr?gier (Universit? d'Artois) St?phane Gaussent (Universit? Jean Monnet) ?ric Hoffbeck (Universit? Paris 13) Martin Hyland (University of Cambridge) (to be confirmed) Andr?

Montr?al) Joachim Kock (Universitat Aut?noma de Barcelona) Victoria Lebed (Trinity College Dublin) Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine (Stockholms Universitet) Simona Paoli (University of Leicester) Dominic Verity (Macquarie University) Two mini-courses will be given: Philippe Malbos (Universit? Lyon 1), on Squier's theory for monoids and algebras Fran?ois M?tayer (Universit? Paris Nanterre), on homotopy theory of strict omega-categories and its connection with homology of monoids A limited number of slots will be available for short contributed talks.
