LGBTQ+ Statement

The 2025 conference for Applied Category Theory will be held at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. As organizers, we understand that the current political climate and legal policies of the state of Florida do not instill a sense of comfort and safety in individuals from marginalized communities, especially the LGBTQ+ community. However, the organizers, University, and local community are committed to creating a welcoming environment for all. Along with the ACT community, Gainesville, FL is a kind and welcoming place for individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. Organizers and attendees of ACT 2025 will not tolerate any abuse or discrimination, direct or indirect, against members of the LGBTQ+ community. This event will be an opportunity to learn from each other, build connections and collaborations, and discuss our research and pedagogy in applied category theory. We welcome all members of the ACT community to participate in this endeavor, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religion, etc.

Inclusive Spaces Resources

The available campus map also shows all locations of single-occupant restrooms, ADA accessible routes between buildings, bus stops, and more via the filter options in the top left corner of the map.
