Dear friends and colleagues,

This is a reminder that the conference "Type Theory, Homotopy Theory and Univalent Foundations" will be held at the Centre de Recerca Matematica in Barcelona on September 23rd-27th.

The following activities may also be of interest: 

- during the week preceding the conference (September 16th-20th), Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine will give a series of preparatory lectures at the Universitat de Barcelona on homotopy theory in type theory.

- during the weekend following the conference (September 28th-29th), there will be the yearly Barcelona Topology Workshop.

With best regards,
