Each participant will contribute a 30 minute research talk followed by a 40 minute interactive discussion of the technical details behind the work. Through these interactions and unstructured meeting times, participants will receive valuable feedback from their peers as well as the broader Flatiron community. Talks from senior Flatiron researchers and an external keynote speaker are also planned to broaden the scope of the workshop.

Our aim is to attract a group of talented theorists studying different topics and coming from diverse backgrounds. We expect the workshop will provide a particularly excellent opportunity for participants in the process of planning their next career stage.

There is no charge to attend the workshop. Each day, meals will be provided for attendees, and accommodations will be provided for non-local participants.
