PSSL 88 - Second announcement
21/11/08
Dear All,
We are pleased to invite you to
register for the 88th
Peripatetic Seminar on Sheaves
and Logic in honour of
the 60th birthdays of Martin
Hyland and Peter Johnstone.
This will be held on the weekend
of 4th-5th April 2009
in Cambridge, UK.
The conference will be based at
Newnham College, with
talks taking place at the Centre
for Mathematical
Sciences.
We have received generous support
from the Morgan-Phoa
Family Fund, and the Department
of Pure Mathematics and
Mathematical Statistics of the
University of Cambridge.
Therefore we are delighted to be
able to invite all
conference participants to a
special celebration dinner
at Gonville and Caius College on
the evening of Friday
3rd April. We hope that you
will be able to make travel
arrangements that allow you to
join us for this dinner.
In addition, we are pleased to be
able to offer some
financial support. In the first
instance, we will make
this available to graduate
students; depending on demand,
we may also be able to offer
funding to young
researchers and others without
grants. We also aim to
keep the costs low for all
participants.
If you would like to attend the
PSSL please send an
e-mail to Eugenia Cheng, using
the form attached below.
TALKS
We look forward to having a full
programme of talks
celebrating the enormous
contributions of Martin Hyland
and Peter Johnstone to a wide
range of subjects. We will
fit in as many talks as time
allows, but in the event
of an excess of offers we will
give priority to current
and former students of Martin and
Peter.

please reply by 31st
January, 2009.

The residential cost will be 35

dinner on Friday. Please

Catharine's college, for around
60 pounds per night plus
