PSSL 88 - Second announcement 21/11/08 Dear All, We are pleased to invite you to register for the 88th Peripatetic Seminar on Sheaves and Logic in honour of the 60th birthdays of Martin Hyland and Peter Johnstone. This will be held on the weekend of 4th-5th April 2009 in Cambridge, UK. The conference will be based at Newnham College, with talks taking place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. We have received generous support from the Morgan-Phoa Family Fund, and the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics of the University of Cambridge. Therefore we are delighted to be able to invite all conference participants to a special celebration dinner at Gonville and Caius College on the evening of Friday 3rd April. We hope that you will be able to make travel arrangements that allow you to join us for this dinner. In addition, we are pleased to be able to offer some financial support. In the first instance, we will make this available to graduate students; depending on demand, we may also be able to offer funding to young researchers and others without grants. We also aim to keep the costs low for all participants. If you would like to attend the PSSL please send an e-mail to Eugenia Cheng, using the form attached below. TALKS We look forward to having a full programme of talks celebrating the enormous contributions of Martin Hyland and Peter Johnstone to a wide range of subjects. We will fit in as many talks as time allows, but in the event of an excess of offers we will give priority to current and former students of Martin and Peter. DEADLINES If you are applying for funding, please reply by 31st January, 2009. To guarantee accommodation and/or your place at dinner, please reply by February 28th, 2009.
