Young Topologists Meeting 2019: Final Announcement

Dear all,

This is a final reminder for the Young Topologists Meeting 2019 which will take place between July 22 and July 26 at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The program will feature two lecture series, one in pure and one in applied topology, given by Julie Bergner (University of Virginia) and Vidit Nanda (University of Oxford) as well as contributed talks. We strongly encourage participants to give a talk or present a poster. It does not have to contain original research results; expository presentations are also welcome.

We will be able to provide accommodation for some participants. We have also applied for NSF funding to cover the expenses of some participants from US institutions. Participants can indicate their interest for these funding possibilities in the registration form.

The deadline for accommodation applications has been extended to March 31, 2019 (which is also the deadline for the rest of the registration form). Further information, including abstracts for the lecture series and a link to the registration form, can be found on the conference website at: https://ytm2019.epfl.ch

We hope to see you in Lausanne!
