Abstract: For my master's thesis a studied a construction on Path Categories called the gluing construction. I will give an introduction to these categories as well as mention some known properties. After this I will give the gluing construction and my results regarding the existence of homotopic universal constructions, which can be seen as a
homotopic counterpart to for instance exponentials or a natural numbers object. Although the motivation for these categories is mainly type theoretic, this talk will only demand knowledge of basic category theory.
