This workshop intends to bring together the participants of the COW algebraic geometry seminar and CALF, its graduate student offspring, for a two-day joint meeting in Cardiff. We aim to expose our more junior participants to a cross-section of current research interests in UK and European algebro-geometrical community, while giving them an opportunity to present their own results and receive potentially useful feedback. More generally, we hope to encourage interaction and collaboration across the herd regardless of individual bovinity.

Organisers:

• Aurelio Carlucci (Oxford)
• Enrico Fatighenti (Warwick)
• Timothy Logvinenko (Cardiff)
• Claudio Onorati (Bath)

Speakers:
