33rd edition of the Géométrie Algébrique en Liberté (GAeL) conference

Hosted by the Universiteit Leiden from 29th June to 3rd July 2026.

The GAeL schools are a series of annual meetings organised for and by young researchers in algebraic geometry (PhD students and young postdocs). The objective is not only to introduce the participants to subjects that are likely to be of relevance in the forthcoming years, but also to encourage them to actively participate in the mathematical community at an early stage of their career. Each year we invite 3 senior lecturers to give 4-hour mini courses. The rest of the talks are chosen from among the junior participants and are often the first opportunity people get to speak in front of an international audience. We try to keep the atmosphere very friendly and inclusive. The senior speakers of this edition will be: • Olivier Benoist (École Normale Supérieure Ulm) • Valentijn Karemaker (University of Amsterdam) • Luca Schaffler (Roma Tre University)

Accommodation for supported participants will be provided from 28th of June to at most 4th of July 2026.

We may have some additional funding to support the travel expenses of applicants from developing countries, see the application form for more information. We cannot currently offer to cover the travel expenses of other participants. However, we may have some limited funds closer to the time to support those who cannot get travel covered by their university.
