This is a follow up workshop to the Fields Institute semester dedicated to Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry. This workshop will highlight the many interactions between combinatorics and algebraic geometry in the specific realms of toric and tropical geometry, Newton Okounkov bodies, combinatorial aspects of moduli spaces, and effectivity and positivity questions in algebraic geometry. The program will feature talks, a poster session, and moderated problem sessions. 

The week prior to the workshop there will be a week long Graduate Summer School in Algebraic Group Actions (June 11 - 15, 2018) at McMaster University organized by Megumi Harada and Adam Van Tuyl. In particular, Ph.D. students and postdocs are encouraged to attend both events. 

Please note the deadline for funding applications is April 15th. See the link in the right hand column to apply.

Applicants will receive notice of approval no later than May 3rd.

Location:

There are many entrances to the Earth Sciences Centre, the easiest way to get to the room (B149) is to enter through the entrance at 5 Bancroft Ave.

Once inside, head down to the bottom of the stairs, through the doors, turn right, throught another set of doors, turn left and the room is there.
