About
This year, the International Workshop on Algebraic Topology (IWoAT) remains a summer school,
on the topics of chromatic homotopy theory and higher (infinity-categorical) algebra. This
was originally planned for Summer 2020 and is designed to evolve for next installment. This
year’s event is jointly sponsored by Shanghai Center for Mathematical Sciences & School of
Mathematical Sciences, Fudan University and Yanqi Lake Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications.
The two week event will take place fully online from August 15 to August 26, 2022 at zoom 388
528 9728 with passcode BIMSA.
Registration
