Conference on QUANTUM TOPOLOGY AND FIELD THEORY

We will hold a (not quite) week-long meeting at the Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne of the Université Bourgogne Europe in Dijon from August 31 to September 4, 2026, with the last day being a departure day without talks. The goal is to bring together some experienced, but also young researchers in quantum topology in a setting allowing for plenty of time for discussions.


List of speakers (subject to change):
Ivelina Bobtcheva (Zürich)
Jennifer Brown (Edinburgh/Hamburg)
Francesco Costantino (Toulouse)
Benjamin Haïoun (Edinburgh/Hamburg)
Sebastian Halbig (Marburg)
Aaron Hofer (Bonn)
Alea Hofstetter (Hamburg)
Catherine Meusburger (Erlangen-Nürnberg)
Lukas Müller (LMU München)
Florian Naef (Dublin)
Jan Steinebrunner (Cambridge)


The venue is the Salle Réné Baire on the 4th floor of the Wing A of the building Sciences Mirande of the Université Bourgogne Europe.

Titles, abstracts and the schedule will appear here shortly. A conference dinner will take place on September 2.

If you would like to participate, just write, by the the end of June, an email to lukas.woike@ube.fr indicating whether you would like to participate in the dinner and whether you have any dietary restrictions. It would help us if participants could cover the own expenses, but on a case-by-case basis, we might be able to cover some costs of the participants. If you wish financial support, please let us know and briefly explain your motivation for your participation.

The conference is financed through the accompagnement CPJ.
