The field of Applied Algebra and Geometry serves as a vital bridge between pure mathematical theory — including commutative algebra, representation theory, and algebraic topology — and transformative real-world applications in data science, cryptography, and systems biology.
This three-day event will include the LMS Northern Regional Meeting 2026 and the 25th meeting of the Applied Algebra and Geometry Research Network (AAG). The workshop is funded by the LMS and the University of York.
Registration is free, but compulsory for catering purposes. The LMS provides funding of £2,000 to support attendance at the LMS Regional Meeting (Monday 14th) of LMS members and research students at UK universities: if you would like to be considered for financial support then please indicate this on the registration form.
Early career researchers are encouraged to propose a talk in the general area of Applied Algebra and Geometry. You can indicate your interest via the registration form above.
