Overview

This workshop is centered on the interplay between category theory and semigroup theory. Indeed, we hope that the workshop will lead to more interaction between the two groups, an exchange of perspectives on both long and short term challenges, and new opportunities for collaboration.

There will be several expository talks and tutorials giving researchers a chance to learn about categorical methods and about semigroup theory. In order to foster a better understanding of different lines of research in both camps, it is intended that the more advanced research talks will not address only specialists from one group, but rather be accessible to everyone. Thus, the worshop is intended to bring together both communities, and as such we believe that the event should be of interest to a large audience.
