INTERNATIONAL CATEGORY THEORY MEETING (CT95)
Canadian Mathematical Society Annual Seminar
July 9-15, 1995
Dalhousie University,
Halifax, Canada
Fifty years after the paper which founded Category Theory and twenty-five
years after the discovery of Elementary Topos Theory,
the Category Theory community met in Halifax. The
meeting was also an Annual Seminar of the Canadian Mathematical Society
(which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 1995).
The meeting took place on the campus of Dalhousie University in Halifax.
The scientific program ran from Monday, July 10 to Saturday, July 15
inclusive.
The conference social events included an excursion to Point Pleasant Park
followed by a boat tour of Halifax harbour and lobster dinner,
and a conference banquet on the Thursday evening.
About 107 mathematicians participated in the conference. Their
names and email addresses
(where known)
are listed. Here is the

During the two weeks preceding CT95 a
Category Theory Summer School
was held at Dalhousie. Professors F. W. Lawvere
and S. Schanuel presented a series of lectures
to an enthusiastic audience of graduate students
from around the world.
