Apply

Applications for the 2025 session are now closed. Check back in summer for the 2026 application.

If you have any questions, contact the organizers of the Adjoint School by emailing actadjointschool@gmail.com.

A reminder for non-US applicants: Please check whether you need a visa to attend the research week. Keep in mind that processing times for visa applications may be long, so it may be necessary to start the process early to ensure that you can travel to the US for the research week.

Who should apply?

Anyone, from anywhere in the world, who is interested in applying category-theoretic methods to problems outside of pure mathematics. This is emphatically not restricted to math students, but one should be comfortable working with mathematics. Knowledge of basic category-theoretic language—the definition of monoidal category for example—is encouraged.

We will consider advanced undergraduates, PhD students, post-docs, as well as people working outside of academia. Members of groups which are underrepresented in the mathematics and computer science communities are especially encouraged to apply.
