TOPOLOGY, ALGEBRA AND CATEGORIES IN LOGIC (TACL 2022)
First announcement
===================================================
Conference: June 20-24, 2022 in Coimbra
School: June 13-18, 2022 in Praia de Mira
https://www.mat.uc.pt/~tacl2022Organized by the Centre for Mathematics (CMUC) and the Department of Mathematics (DMUC) of the University of Coimbra
Scope
--------
Studying logic via semantics is a well-established and very active branch of mathematical logic with many applications in
computer science and elsewhere. The area is characterized by results, tools and techniques stemming from various fields,
including universal algebra, topology, category theory, order, and model theory. The programme of the conference TACL 2022 will
focus on three interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantic study of logic and their applications: topological,
algebraic, and categorical methods.
TACL 2022 is the tenth conference in the series Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL, formerly TANCL).
Earlier instalments of this conference have been organized in Tbilisi (2003), Barcelona (2005), Oxford (2007),
Amsterdam (2009), Marseille (2011), Nashville (2013), Ischia (2015), Prague (2017), and Nice (2019).
