Summer School 2027: Theory and Applications of (∞,n)-Categories
This Summer School aims to introduce students to the theory of (∞,n)-categories and its applications in modern mathematics. To this end, the workshop will feature four lecture series, each accompanied by exercise sessions and discussions of open problems:

|---|---|---|
| Lecture B | Model-independent (∞,n)-category theory | Lorenzo Riva (Harvard CMSA, US) |
| Lecture C | Higher categories in categorical representation theory | Julia Plavnik (Indiana University, US) (TBC) |
| Lecture D | Target higher categories for TQFTs | Theo Johnson-Freyd (Dalhousie University, Canada) |
