Workshop on Spatial Structures

The first workshop of a series of CTA2 meetings.

21-25. September 2026.

Registration deadline 1.August.

Spatial structures appear throughout mathematics, connecting topology, combinatorics, and geometry in surprising and beautiful ways, capturing how objects sit and interact within the spaces around them. 

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from a range of backgrounds to strengthen the community and to discuss developments in the theory of spatial structures, with a particular focus on topological graph theory, spatial graphs, braids, and periodic tillings.
