Workshop on Semigroups and Categories
University of Ottawa,
585 King Edward, Ottawa
Organizer: Pieter Hofstra (UOttawa),
Benjamin Steinberg (Carleton University, Ottawa)
Jonathon Funk (University of the West Indies, Barbados)

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.
