Categorifications are category-theoretic analogues of mathematical phenomena. This process can engender mathematical progress by allowing problems to be attacked with new techniques and theory that exist in a categorical setting. Categorification does not in general have a strict definition, and can refer to approaches in a range of different areas. This conference aims to bring together postgraduate and early career researchers interested in a wide variety of categorifications.

Invited speakers: Vanessa Miemietz (UEA), Bethany Marsh (Leeds), Marta Mazzocco (Birmingham), Katerina Hristova (UEA), Matthew Pressland (Leeds)

+ Contributed talks, see Titles and abstracts.
