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.

Conference in honor of Alexander Kechris, focusing on Descriptive Set Theory and its applications to other fields of mathematics.

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 aims to bring together experts in the field to share their recent results on cutting-edge topics. Key topics include homological stability for Hurwitz spaces and the stacky perspective on counting problems. The workshop will also cover motivic approaches to counting and the new challenges of generalizing classical results to the wild case. We encourage participants to discuss ways to unify these ideas for further development.

Keywords: Hurwitz spaces (Homological stability), Malle's conjecture (for function fields), Rational points of stacks, Brauer-Manin obstruction (for stacks), Wild Galois extensions of function fields and power series fields (counting results, moduli spaces), Motivic counting of Galois extensions.

This event is part of the special year "Arithmetic, Homotopy, and Geometry 2027-28".
