=========================================================================

We are delighted to announce the 41st Conference on the Mathematical
Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS 2025). It will take place at the
University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.

MFPS conferences are dedicated to the areas of mathematics, logic, and computer
science that are related to models of computation in general, and to semantics
of programming languages in particular. This is a forum where researchers in
mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas. The participation
of researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: bio-computation;
concurrent qualitative and quantitative distributed systems; process calculi;
probabilistic systems; constructive mathematics; domain theory and categorical
models; formal languages; formal methods; game semantics; lambda calculus;
programming language theory; quantum computation; security; topological models;
logic; type systems; type theory; denotational and operational semantics;
rewrite theory; proof theory. We also welcome contributions that address
applications of semantics to novel areas.
