Held every two years, this conference is recognized as the leading international event in Singularity Theory, algebraic geometry, bifurcation theory and related areas. It brings together world experts and young researchers to report recent achievements and exchange ideas, addressing trends of research in a stimulating environment.
The school aims to connect young students and early-career researchers in Singularity Theory with experienced scientists from around the world. Senior researchers interested in new developments in the field are also warmly invited. This edition will be hosted by Mid Sweden University, in Sundsvall, Sweden, as a satellite event of the Workshop on Singularities.
The conference will honor Professor Maria Aparecida Soares Ruas (Cidinha), who played a prominent role in the Singularity Theory community. Her scientific contributions, as well as her dedication to the mentoring and development of young researchers, have influenced generations and left a lasting legacy recognized both nationally and internationally. This special edition will be an opportunity not only to advance our scientific discussions but also to celebrate her career and impact in the field.
