Summer school – Building Bridges

10-15 August 2026

The purpose of the summer school is to provide training on some topics that are having great impact on current research in automorphic forms, allowing participants to make new connections with areas related to their current research programs and with other researchers. The summer school consists of three 2-day mini-courses, taught by teams of internationally renowned researchers, who are known to be excellent teachers; see the schedule and the topics below. We expect 40-55 students. Each day begins with 3 hours of lecture; in the afternoons the students work through exercises. All school participants are encouraged to stay and speak in the workshop that follows; all workshop participants who want to speak are scheduled to do so.

Conference fee

We are hoping to cover the costs of the stay of all the participants. If our funding doesn’t allow it, we may need to introduce a small conference fee up to 50 EUR. The fee covers accommodation at Będlewo Palace and full board. Further details will be provided to registered participants in due course.
