CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPATION
Workshop on Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent Foundations
(HoTT/UF, at FSCD 2017)
==========================================================

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Workshop on Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent Foundations
September 8-9, 2017, Oxford, United Kingdom
https://hott-uf.github.io/2017/
Co-located with FSCD 2017
https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/fscd2017/
Abstract submission deadline: June 30

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Homotopy Type Theory is a young area of logic, combining ideas from
several established fields: the use of dependent type theory as a
foundation for mathematics, inspired by ideas and tools from abstract
homotopy theory. Univalent Foundations are foundations of mathematics
based on the homotopical interpretation of type theory.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested
in all aspects of Homotopy Type Theory/Univalent Foundations: from the
study of syntax and semantics of type theory to practical
formalization in proof assistants based on univalent type theory. As
part of the workshop there will be an introductory tutorial intended
to make the invited and contributed talks accessible to non-experts.

============================
# Invited talks/tutorials

* Thorsten Altenkirch (University of Nottingham) (tutorial)
* Ulrik Buchholtz (Technical University of Darmstadt)
* Thierry Coquand (University of Gothenburg): Sheaf models for
  univalent type theory

================
# Submissions

* Abstract submission deadline: June 30
* Author notification: mid July

Submissions should consist of a title and a 1-2 pages abstract, in pdf
format, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hottuf17

Considering the broad background of the expected audience, we encourage
authors to include information of pedagogical value in their abstract,
such as motivation and context of their work.
