Winterbraids XIII is the 13th edition of an itinerant school on braids
and low-dimensional topology, that will be held at Institut Montpelliérain
Alexander Grothendieck
(Montpellier) from February 6th to 9th, 2024.

The school consists on three 3-hours mini-courses and a special lecture:

    * Bram Petri (Sorbonne, France): Probabilistic methods in low-dimensional
hyperbolic geometry

    * Vincent Pilaud (Polytechnique, France): Combinatorial geometry

These will be completed by short talks and a poster session devoted to
student presentations (not necessarily focused on braids or their
generalizations).

The school will be mainly supported by the Institut Montpelliérain Alexander
Grothendieck,
the Université de Montpellier, the GDR Tresses, the ETH Zürich, and the
European Commission.

The school will start on Tuesday morning and will end on Friday at
