    Organizers: Steve Bradlow, Óscar García-Prada and Tomás Gómez
  • Workshop 2: Higgs bundles, character varieties and higher Teichmüller spaces, Residencia La Cristalera, Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid), 22-26 May 2023
    Organizers: Javier Aramayona, Steve Bradlow, Oscar Garcia-Prada and Anna Wienhard (this is a joint workshop with the Agol ICMAT Lab)
  • Workshop 3: Gauge theory, canonical metrics and geometric structures, ICMAT (Madrid), 19-23 June 2023
    Organizers: Luis Alvarez-Consul, Mario Garcia-Fernandez, Oscar Garcia-Prada and Xenia de la Ossa

In addition to the workshops, there will be extended visits by the Chairs of the Lab, Nigel Hitchin and Ngô Bao Châu, other members of the Lab and invited researchers, including young researches (postdocs and PhD students).
