9th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science

The 9th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2021) takes place as a hybrid event virtually and in Salzburg, Austria on August 31 – September 3 2021.

CALCO aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with interests in foundational aspects, and both traditional and emerging uses of algebra and coalgebra in computer science.It is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining the forces and reputations of CMCS (the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science), and WADT (the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques). Previous CALCO editions took place in Swansea (Wales, 2005), Bergen (Norway, 2007), Udine (Italy, 2009), Winchester (UK, 2011), Warsaw (Poland, 2013), Nijmegen (The Netherlands, 2015), Ljubljana (Slovenia, 2017) and London (United Kingdom, 2019).

The 9th edition will be held in Salzburg, Austria, co-located with MFPS XXXVII.
