[TYPES/announce] Math Research Communities on Homotopy Type Theory, June 4-10, 2017, Snowbird UT

[Dan Licata]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that from June 4-10, 2017, there will be a workshop on Homotopy Type Theory, organized as part of the AMS Mathematics Research Communities program and held in the Snowbird Resort in Utah.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together advanced graduate students and postdocs having some background in one (or more) areas such as algebraic topology, category theory, mathematical logic, or computer science, with the goal of learning how these areas come together in homotopy type theory, and working together to prove new results.  Basic knowledge of just one of these areas will be sufficient to be a successful participant.

For more information about the workshop, including the list of sample topics that participants may be working on and the registration information, please see the website:

All accepted into the program will receive financial support (room and board at the Snowbird Resort and up to $650 towards airfare). Although the application deadline is *March 1st, 2017,* early registration will be highly appreciated, as it will help us plan the event and ensure that everyone gets the most out of it.

The majority of the positions are allocated to U.S. citizens and people who are affiliated with U.S. institutions, but a smaller number are also open to international participants.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the organizers.
