The conference is motivated by recent progress in the birational geometry of foliations and fibrations, especially on their boundedness and moduli problems and connections with traditional KSBA and K‑moduli theory. Our aim is to bring together researchers working on these problems from different perspectives and to provide a forum for exchanging ideas and advancing the field.
