CT2026 Cambridge Satellite Event
Cambridge, UK, 13-18 July 2026
About the Event
Since the International Category Theory Conference 2026 is a hybrid event this year, we invite remote participants to join us at the University of Cambridge for the CT2026 Cambridge Satellite Event. In collaboration with the CT2026 organizers, we will stream talks from the main conference and support participants who are giving their talks online. Alongside the academic programme, we will provide coffee breaks, an excursion, and other opportunities to connect in person.
