Geometric topology and its friends

While landmark achievements by Perelman, Agol, and others have recently resolved major questions in dimension 3, the field of low-dimensional topology remains vibrant. Significant challenges persist—such as the L-space conjectureand the smooth Poincaré conjecture in dimension 4—alongside emerging questions at the intersection of various mathematical disciplines.

Special track collaborative workshop

This is a special track collaborative workshop taking place in Switzerland.

IMPORTANT: This event is primarily for participants based in a developing country following IMU-CDC classification. However, as this event happens in Europe, we exceptionally accept applications from students based in Europe under the condition that they have done their studies till the end of undergraduate level in a developing country.

Advances in Quantum Cryptography

This is a thematic trimester programme with short courses, seminars and workshops on mathematical developments in Advances in Quantum Cryptography (QCRYPTO).

Timeline for the trimester:

September 13 to 17 - Introductory school at IHP, Paris, amphitheater Hermite

October 11 to 15 - Workshop 1 at IHP, Paris: Advances in Quantum Cryptography: Information-theoretic Foundations

High Dimensional Probability and Analysis, Continuous and Discrete

Recent trends at the interface between information theory, probability, statistics and high-dimensional geometry raise new questions on the role and importance of entropy in the understanding of both asymptotic and finite range phenomena, in particular towards discrete structures and applications to areas such as quantum information, percolation and random matrices. Recent fruitful developments warrant imminent blossom of new ideas and results in this area in the near future.

Kinetic theory

The program centers on the development of a unified understanding of kinetic theory in systems with long‑range interactions, with a particular emphasis on the quantum regime. Long‑range interacting quantum systems—realized experimentally in cold atoms, trapped ions, and polar molecules—exhibit rich dynamical behavior such as metastability, collisionless dynamics, anomalous transport, critical scaling, and turbulence‑like phenomena.

Fundamentals of Density Functional Theory

Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a widely used computational method for addressing the quantum-mechanical many-body problem, with applications across fields such as quantum chemistry, materials science, geology, astrophysics, and biophysics. DFT-based simulations are used to study materials important for key technological and societal applications, with particular relevance to major challenges in Africa. Because of its broad relevance, DFT is an essential part of the training of master’s and PhD students. The widespread use of DFT is partly due to freely available computational codes.

Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics

The CIMPA School on Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics will take place from July 19–30, 2027 at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. The school aims to introduce graduate students and early-career researchers to modern developments in enumerative and algebraic combinatorics and their connections to other areas of mathematics and computer science. Although combinatorics research is still developing in Uganda and parts of Africa, there is a growing community of researchers and students interested in the subject.
