# Call for Participation SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Utrecht, the Netherlands, 04 July – 08 July 2022 http://www.afp.school ## ABOUT The Advanced Functional Programming summer school has been running for more than ten years. We aim to educate aspiring Haskell programmers beyond the basic material covered by many textbooks. After running remotely for the past two years, we're thrilled to announce that this year's edition will take place on site in Utrecht. We are monitoring the pandemic closely - and will make contingency plans if we cannot meet in person; at the moment, we do not have plans for remote participation. The lectures will cover several more advanced topics regarding the theory and practice of Haskell programming, including topics such as: * lambda calculus; * monads and monad transformers; * lazy evaluation; * generalized algebraic data types; * type families and type-level programming; * concurrency and parallelism. The summer school consists of a mix of lectures, labs, and a busy social program. ## LECTURERS * Gabriele Keller * Trevor McDonell * Wouter Swierstra ## PREREQUISITES We expect students to have a basic familiarity with Haskell already. You should be able to write recursive functions over algebraic data types, such as lists and trees. There is a great deal of material readily available that covers this material. If you've already started learning Haskell and are looking to take your functional programming skills to the next level, this is the course for you. ## DATES Soft registration deadline: 24 June, 2022 School: 04 July – 08 July 2022 ## COSTS 750 euro - Profession registration only 250 euro - Student registration fee 200 euro - Housing fee We will charge a registration fee of 750 euros (or 250 euros for students) to cover our expenses. If this is problematic for you for any reason at all, please email the organisers and we can try to offer you a discounted rate or a fee waiver. We have a limited number of scholarships or discounts available for students that would not be able to attend otherwise, especially for women and under-represented minorities. ## FURTHER INFORMATION Further information, including instructions on how to register, is available on our website: http://www.afp.school
