VI BrAG meeting

Sheffield

BrAG is an established  series of meetings of British algebraic geometers.  Our goal is to further strengthen the British algebraic geometry community, integrating postgraduate students and young researchers. The meetings feature activities aimed at early career researchers such as pre-talks, poster sessions and career development sessions, and include plenty of time for informal interactions between the participants.

The 6th BrAG meeting took place at the University of Sheffield, 10-12 April 2024.
