Derivators
Summer School, August 18-22, 2014, Freiburg

Introduction to the formalism of derivators. This is built on work of Grothendieck, Heller and others and is a powerful and elegant approach to homological algebra, and homotopy theory, encompassing triangulated categories and derived functors.
Morning lectures by Moritz Groth, Fritz Hörmann and George Raptis, along with daily exercise and discussion sessions in the afternoon.
A detailed program can be found here.
