About the Workshop
Hodge theory is a fundamental branch of algebraic geometry, with strong connections to other fields like algebraic groups, differential geometry, number theory, etc. The last years have witnessed a great advance of Hodge theory: solutions to long-standing problems, opening of new ones, and development of new techniques.
​
The aim of this meeting is to bring together experts and researchers working in algebraic geometry to discuss and present the latest developments in the field of Hodge theory and to create a good environment for starting new collaborations.

Event Highlights
The workshop helped me synthesize different areas of mathematics I had previously treated separately, particularly by connecting the combinatorial perspective from simplicial homology with the differential viewpoint of de Rham cohomology; the sessions on Non-Abelian Hodge Theory and Higgs bundles were especially insightful.
