The Fourth International Conference on Applied Category Theory will
take place at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge
on 12-16 July, 2021, preceded by the Adjoint School 2021 on 5-9 July.
This conference follows previous events at MIT, Oxford and Leiden.

Applied category theory is a topic of interest for a growing community
of researchers, interested in studying many different kinds of systems
using category-theoretic tools. These systems are found across computer
science, mathematics, and physics, as well as in social science,
linguistics, cognition, and neuroscience. The background and experience
of our members is as varied as the systems being studied. The goal of
the Applied Category Theory conference series is to bring researchers
together, disseminate the latest results, and facilitate further
development of the field.

For a full schedule of talks, please see
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/act2021/#programme.

The conference will be run as a hybrid event, with physical attendees
present in Cambridge, and other participants taking part online.
Physical registration is now closed, but online registration is still
available: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/act2021/#registration.
