Dear Colleagues,
The 41st Annual Workshop in Geometric Topology will be held in-person June
13-15, 2024 at Calvin University, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The featured speaker will be Maggie Miller of the University of Texas - Austin, who will give a series of three one-hour lectures on the topic of Surfaces in 4-manifolds
Participants are invited to contribute talks of 20 minutes. Contributed talks need not be directly related to the topic of the principal lectures. Talks will be selected in a way that provides a balanced collection of topics and
respects the historical traditions of the workshop. The deadline for talk requests is May 20, 2024. Applicants will be notified whether their talk has been accepted soon
after.
Full details, including registration, abstract of the principal lectures, housing, funding, and information about submitting titles and abstracts for contributed talks, can be found at the conference website at https://sites.google.com/view/workshop2024/home
The Workshops in Geometric Topology are a series of informal annual research conferences that have been held since 1984. The workshops
currently rotate among Calvin University, Colorado College, Oberlin College, Texas Christian University, and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Each workshop features
a series of three lectures by one principal speaker, providing a substantial introduction to an area of current research in geometric topology. Participants are invited to contribute short talks on their own research, and there is ample time set aside each
day for informal interactions between participants. Funding for the workshop series is currently provided by a grant from the
National Science Foundation (DMS-2350373). The deadline to apply for funding is April 20, 2024.
