2. Robert Crumplin (Imperial College): The geometry of the moduli space of twisted maps to Artin fans.

3. Andreas Pieper (Rennes): Equations of genus 4 curves from their theta constants

4. Flora Poon (Bath): Kuga-Satake varieties associated to families of K3 surfaces of Picard rank 14

5. Shubham Sinha (ICTP): Quantum K-invariants via Quot scheme.

6. Bailee Zacovic (Bonn): Homology of the Matroid Complex

7. Siao Chi Mok (Cambridge): Logarithmic Fulton--MacPherson Compactification of Configuration Spaces
