We are delighted to announce this summer school, to be held at ICTP, Trieste (Italy), August 1-5, 2022. It will feature mini-courses by Joshua Greene, Jen Hom, Francesco Lin, John Pardon (to be confirmed) and Thomas Walpuski, covering topics in low-dimensional topology, Floer homology, and gauge theory. The summer school will be followed by a research conference the week after. Applications are open now, and the DEADLINE for applying is

Frontiers in Geometry and Topology Summer School | (smr 3648) (01-5 August 2022)http://indico.ictp.it/event/9705/ indico.ictp.it An ICTP Hybrid Meeting Organised in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute The conference is intended as an appreciation of the contributions of Tomasz Mrowka Geometry and Topology have seen spectacular recent developments, including the solution of classical problems. As a consequence, the established picture of how various parts of these areas fit together

Applicants are expected to provide a recommendation letter from their PhD advisor.

Practical information (some of which is still preliminary at this point):

WHO CAN APPLY? PhD students with an interest in the topics covered by the summer school. During the application process, applicants will be able to state whether they are potentially interested in staying on for the conference the week after.

HOW ABOUT COVID AND REMOTE PARTICIPATION? We encourage in-person attendance. However, in view of current uncertainties, the summer school is designed as hybrid, and allows remote participation if necessary. Note that remote participants have to go through the same application process as in-person ones.

WHERE WILL PARTICIPANTS STAY? ICTP has on-campus housing that participants can book at a reasonable price.

HOW ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT FOR HOUSING AND TRAVEL? Our aim is to cover housing expenses for most or all participants during the summer school. Additionally, some summer school participants may receive support for housing during the conference (the week after the summer school), and/or a contribution towards travel expenses. One of our funding sources is ICTP, which offers partial support for participants from developing countries (this is part of ICTP's mission of encouraging the worldwide development of mathematics and physics). The Clay Foundation has awarded us a small amount of funding, for travel expenses of selected participants. Finally, we have a pending application for funding from the National Science Foundation, which if approved would provide additional resources for a number of US-based graduate students.
