The Workshops in Geometric Topology are a series of informal research conferences that have been held each year since 1984. Most have been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation.
Each workshop features a series of three lectures by one principal speaker. That format allows the speaker to give a substantial introduction to an area of current research in geometric topology.
Participants are invited to contribute talks on their own research. Time is allotted each day for short talks by participants. In addition, there is ample time set aside each day for informal interactions between participants.
For a complete list of each workshop, its location, the principal speaker, and recordings and written proceedings, visit the Workshop Archives.
