Once again, we would like to have a true "workshop", with only a few invited talks and some time for informal discussions. The Main Speakers are: Jiří Adámek (Technische Universität Braunschweig and Czech Technical University) Sandra Mantovani (Università degli Studi di Milano) Tim Van der Linden (Université Catholique de Louvain). They will give a 2 hours talk. Besides, the Scientific Committee invited as speakers: Alessandro Ardizzoni (Università degli Studi di Torino) Carmelo Antonio Finocchiaro (Università degli Studi di Catania) Dirk Hofmann (Universidade de Aveiro) Pierre-Alain Jacqmin (Université Catholique de Louvain) Vincenzo Marra (Università degli Studi di Milano) Giuseppe Rosolini (Università degli Studi di Genova) Florence Sterck (Université Catholique de Louvain). Walter Tholen (York University) will give the conclusive talk. All of them have confirmed their presence, covid restrictions permitting. Although there will be no other scheduled talk, there will be a poster session to present and discuss results and investigations in categorical algebra. Moreover, the conference dinner will be a happy occasion to celebrate Maria Manuel Clementino's 60th birthday. The workshop will start with a welcome buffet or dinner (depending on the covid situation) on Tuesday April 26th, in the late afternoon. Talks are scheduled from Wednesday April 27th, in the morning, till Saturday April 30th, around noon.
