The workshop focuses on the interplay between 3-manifold topology and geometry, the study of 3-manifold groups, and character and representation varieties, with connections to computational topology and theoretical computer science. Related topics are also welcome! This two-day event will feature introductory lectures, in-depth research talks, lightning talks, and dedicated discussion sessions. Our goal is to foster a stimulating environment by bringing together participants at various career stages, along with many local researchers.
