This summer school aims at providing graduate students and advanced undergraduate students tutorials in various advanced topics in symplectic geometry and introductions to recent developments. This year we focus on, but are not restricted to, the foundational aspects, including the theory of global Kuranishi charts, integer-valued curve-counting invariants, Hamiltonian dynamics, and contact topology.
