Lambda Days
is a one of a kind experience in the functional world.

Lambda Days is a place where academia meets industry, where research and practical application collide.

2021 Lambda Days goes virtual but also becomes a fundraiser. 

Once again we join forces with Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) and Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPiE) so that for four days you can be at the centre of the functional programming world.

Find out what is possible with functional programming - explore the latest in battle-tested Scala, Erlang and Haskell, experience the energy F# and Elixir bring to the table, connect with the innovators working with Elm, Luna and Ocaml, see what comes up next!

Schedule of Lambda Days Conference 2021 is in the Central European Time Zone: 12.00:18.00 (CEST)

DON'T MISS OUT!

The 2021 edition of Lambda Days is a new frontier for us. Promoting the latest, best and coolest in functional programming is still our no 1 priority, but a couple of new items popped into the agenda. We want to support and build the community we got to know and love, but with all that's happening in the world, we feel we are responsible for more.

Subscribe to our newsletter to learn what we have in mind to stand out among other virtual events and how you can use your passion for awesome tech to #CodeForGood.

Open free meetup!

Final preparations for Lambda Days 2021 are in full swing!

You can have a taste of the February event by joining our completely free and open meetup: Dependent Types - salvation or plague?

This panel discussion will be hosted by our well-known Lambda Days Program Committee member, John Huges, and attended by guests with enthusiastic, or not that much, views on types. Guests include Stephanie Weirich, Edwin Brady, Adam Chlipala and Thorsten Altenkirch.

Call For Papers

This year, due to an online format, Lambda Days committee will solicit presentation for all our tracks. Still, you can submit your paper either to TFP or TFPiE tracks.

22nd International Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming

The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions.

More information can be found HERE.

Submission deadline for pre-symposium review: 20th November 2020.

Submission deadline for draft papers: 15th January 2021.

International Workshops on Trends in Functional Programming in Education

This year many teaching programmes have had to make a rapid transition to online teaching, and we explicitly solicit papers that explore this area of teaching functional programming.

After the workshop (16.02), presenters are invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles that will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

More information can be found HERE.

Submission deadline: 11th January 2021.

Let's have a lunch together

Great news! If you missed our Lambda Days catering and you live in Krakow (or areas), you are now very welcome to make an order and have a Lambda lunch at your place!

Special 10% discount code works for all orders at Modern Catering shop with a delivery between 15th and 20th February 2021. Code: LAMBDA21.

E-SHOP

To respond your requests, for the first time we have created Lambda Days e-shop with conference swag! You can now not only participate in our Lambda Days 2021 virtual experience, but also order LD t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and many more items, from the comfort of your couch.

Please note, Code Sync the organisers of Lambda Days, do not charge any additional fees or make any profit from the sale of these items. All items are ordered directly with Spreadshirt but are branded with the official Lambda Days branding. The store was created for our community but is a third party supplier. Any issues with the items should be directed to the supplier and not Code Sync.
