Karol Szumilo (Leeds), Infty-groupoids in lextensive categories
Abstract: I will discuss a construction of a new model structure on
simplicial objects in a countably lextensive category (i.e., a category
with well behaved finite limits and countable coproducts). This builds
on previous work on a constructive model structure on simplicial sets,
originally motivated by modelling Homotopy Type Theory, but now
applicable in a much wider context. This is joint work with Nicola
Gambino, Simon Henry and Christian Sattler.

Anna Laura Suarez (Universite’ Cote, d’Azur), The category of finitary biframes as the category of pointfree bispaces
Bitopological spaces have found numerous applications: they appear naturally when dealing with uniform spaces (already introduced by Weil in [1]), as well as providing a particularly elegant view of Priestley duality (see [4], but also [3]). We explore the theory of finitary biframes, introduced in [5], as a category of pointfree bitopological spaces. In particular, we compare it to the existing theory of biframes ([2]) and the more recent one of d-frames ([4]). We illustrate some of the advantages that finitary biframes present when compared to both biframes and d-frames. One of the main strengths of the theory of finitary biframes is that for every finitary biframe L one may construct a finitary biframe A(L) whose main component is order-isomorphic to the collection of all quotients of L.

Ivan Di Liberti (Czech Academy of Sciences), Formal model theory and Higher Topology.
Abstract. Motivated by the abstract study of semantics, we study the interaction between topoi, accessible categories with directed colimits and ionads. This theory amounts to a categorification of famous construction from general topology: the Scott topology on a poset and the adjunction between locales and topological spaces. This technology is then used in order to establish syntax-semantics dualities. Among the significant contributions, we provide a logical understanding of ionads that encompasses Makkai ultracategories.
