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.

Spatial structures appear throughout mathematics, connecting topology, combinatorics, and geometry in surprising and beautiful ways, capturing how objects sit and interact within the spaces around them.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from a range of backgrounds to strengthen the community and to discuss developments in the theory of spatial structures, with a particular focus on topological graph theory, spatial graphs, braids, and periodic tillings.

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.

Tech Topology brings together researchers in low-dimensional, geometric, contact, and symplectic topology for a weekend of invited talks, lightning talks, and mathematical conversation at Georgia Tech. This year's Tech Topology Conference will be from December 11 to 13. We have a great lineup this year:

• Eduardo Fernández Fuertes (Georgia Tech) • David Gay (University of Georgia) • Sherry Gong (Texas A&M) • Mark Hughes (BYU) • Isabella Kahn (Georgia Tech) • Adam Levine (Duke University) • Luya Wang (IAS)

Even if you do not need funding, please register if you plan to attend any of the talks so we can add you to the participants page and add you to the conference email list (and make sure we have enough food). If you would like to give a lightning talk, you can also apply for that on the web page too.
