One may consider internal categories in homotopy type theory. Under the interpretation of HoTT in an (infinity,1)-topos, this corresponds to the concept of a category object in an (infinity,1)-category. The general idea is presented there at Homotopy Type Theory Formulation.
For internal 1-categories in HoTT (as opposed to more general internal (infinity,1)-categories) a comprehensive discussion was given in (Ahrens-Kapulkin-Shulman-13).
In some literature, the “Rezk-completeness” condition on such categories is omitted from the definition, and categories that satisfy it are called saturated or univalent.
Particularly useful in the context of such categories are displayed categories.
The relation between Segal completeness (now often “Rezk completeness”) for internal categories in HoTT and the univalence axiom had been pointed out in
