  SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING

    Utrecht, the Netherlands, 07 July – 11 July 2025

  http://www.afp.school/

**Please register before June 15th **

## ABOUT

The Advanced Functional Programming summer school has been running for
more than fifteen years. We aim to educate aspiring Haskell programmers
beyond the basic material covered by many textbooks.

The lectures will cover several more advanced topics regarding the
theory and practice of Haskell programming, including topics such as:

  * lambda calculus;
  * lazy evaluation;
  * generalized algebraic data types;
  * type families and type-level programming;
  * concurrency and parallelism.

The summer school will be held in Utrecht and consists of a mix of
lectures, labs, and a busy social program.

## 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

Registration deadline: June 15th, 2025
School: 07 July – 11 July 2025

## COSTS

  € 950 euro - Profession registration fee

We will charge a registration fee of €950 (or €500 for students) to
cover our expenses. This fee includes all lunches, dinners, and coffee
breaks - you won't need to budget much else besides your travel.

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.
