++++++++++++++++


Coalgebras have been expanding and reshaping the mathematical environment
of modal logic: pivoting on the crucial notion of 'bisimulation
invariance', a wide range of languages based on Set-endofunctors have been
recognized as modal in nature and conversely, the coalgebraic nature of
modal logic is clearly recognizable by its model theory.

This workshop aims at giving a snapshot of the advances in the resulting
field of coalgebraic modal logic. The program also includes a tutorial on
coalgebras for modal logicians.

Expressions of interests are very welcome. If you intend to participate,
please contact Alessandra Palmigiano.
