The aim of the workshop is to bring together young researchers interested in different branches of real algebraic geometry. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: topology and moduli of real varieties, real enumerative geometry, real algebra, sum of squares and applications to optimization. We will select some possible topics for a talk and participants should volunteer for giving one of those. The modus operandi of the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deninger-Faltings" in Oberwolfach serves as a model.

There will be introductory talks on:

• Topology of Real Algebraic Varieties by Arthur Renaudineau (Universität Tübingen)
• Convex Algebraic Geometry by Cynthia Vinzant (North Carolina State University)
• Random Real Algebraic Geometry by Paul Breiding (Technische Universität Berlin)
