Please share this opportunity with potentially interested students and postdocs.

The application deadline for the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) 2026 is Feb 11, 2026. See https://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/ for details.

The HLF offers a rare opportunity for students, PhD candidates, and postdocs in mathematics and computer science to spend a week interacting with Abel Prize, Fields Medal, Turing Prize, ACM Prize in Computing, IMU Abacus Medal and Nevanlinna Prize laureates, as well as with other outstanding international early-career mathematicians and computer scientists from around the world, and a variety of distinguished guests. The program includes lectures, workshops, panel discussions, networking events, and more. All local expenses (hotel and meals) are covered and an option to apply for travel funding exists if needed.

Participating in an HLF is a wonderful opportunity in many ways.

The British Topology Meeting is the UK’s annual topology conference, bringing together researchers in algebraic, geometric, and low-dimensional topology, as well as related areas. The programme will feature six plenary lectures by Naomi Andrew, Clark Barwick, David Gabai, John Greenlees, Sungkyung Kang, and Clara Löh, alongside several contributed talks.

It is a pleasure to invite you to Advances in Modern Topology 2026, a conference dedicated to fostering cooperation and collaboration among researchers in Algebraic Topology, Algebraic Geometry, and their interdisciplinary applications.

This year’s edition will be held for the first time in the beautiful city of Podgorica, hosted at the prestigious Main Building of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts.

The nineteenth annual Binghamton University Graduate Combinatorics Algebra and Topology Conference (BUGCAT Conference) will meet November 21-22, 2026 at Binghamton University. Graduate students at all levels, as well as faculty, are invited to give a 20-minute talk; talks may be expository or on current research. This year, we have three distinguished keynote speakers: Casey Donoven (Montana State University Northern), Ben Knudsen (Colorado State University) and Pablo Soberón (City University of New York).

This workshop is sponsored by AIM, NSF, and the Simons Foundation. This activity, which is a part of the New Structures in Low-dimensional topology collaboration, will be devoted to developing an approach to q-series invariants of 3-manifolds and knots via 2-representation theory. Verma modules play a key role in the construction of an analogue for a generic parameter q of the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants. The workshop will consider the categorification of Verma modules constructed by Naisse-Vaz, their duals and tensor products, as well as braidings and traces. The goal is to apply these constructions to 3-dimensional topology and relate them to known invariants.

Main topics for the workshop are:

• determination of tensor products of 2-Verma modules, braidings and traces
• relation with the Dupont-Naisse construction
• extension to the case of tensor products of 2-Verma modules and their duals
• construction of homological invariants of particular knots and 3-manifolds

This is the sixth workshop on Computational Persistence (ComPer 2026). Invited Speakers: Erin Chambers, Chao Chen, Dmitriy Morozov, Don Sheehy, and Bei Wang. We invite submissions for contributed talks and poster presentations on all aspects of computational topology and topological data analysis. Submission Deadline: August 7, 2026. Notifications: September 4, 2026.
