This is a two-week workshop, consisting of a school and research projects. It is part of the ICMS Mathematics for Humanity programme, and is a continuation of the Abram Gannibal Project.
The workshop will take place at ICMS in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, from 5-16 May 2025.
The first week of the workshop will consist of broader introductory talks and exercises in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. In the second week participants will focus in smaller groups on research topics. Possible topics include birational geometry, K-stability, toric degenerations, and special classes of modules in commutative algebra.
We expect the majority of participants to hold a PhD in mathematics and be working in Africa, though exceptions may be made for well-prepared finishing PhD students, or those working outside Africa with tight ties to the continent. Full funding is available for mathematicians based in Africa, and partial funding may be available for others. To apply fill in the application form here by 15 October 2024.
