Teaming up with Paris
In the spirit of cooperation and learning other topics, we start on Wednesday with the streaming of talks from a parallel meeting held by our colleagues in Paris, hosted at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques and organised by Indira Chatterji, Sami Douba, and Rachel Skipper. The talks in Paris will be held in (and streamed from) the Amphithéâtre Léon Motchane. For any inquiries regarding the French meeting, please contact the local organisers.
Schedule
Besides the talks from Paris on Wednesday morning, we will discuss some exercises after overview talks in the afternoon.
On Thursday, the invited speakers will give talks in person, also broadcast to Paris. We will end the event with a talk by one member of our working group.
