Call for proposals: Tandem Workshop in 2026 at MFO and RIMS
The Tandem Workshop can take place in one of the following weeks:
- 9 - 13 November 2026
- 16 - 20 November 2026
- 30 November - 4 December 2026
The workshop with 15-25 participants at RIMS and 14-16 participants at MFO (figures including organizers) is held in both locations such that the participants in each place can interact in the usual intense way locally and in addition share a certain number of joint lectures/discussions via Zoom (for example Oberwolfach 8:30-11:30 am could match up with RIMS at 4:30-7:30 pm).
Invitations of their suggested participants will be sent out by each center with their own standard procedure (in particular, arrival at MFO is on Sunday afternoon and departure on Friday afternoon). Emphasis is on on-site participation at the centers, online participation is reserved to justified exceptions. Talks which are given outside this time slot can be temporarily recorded via Zoom such they are also available to the participants at the other institute.
