The meeting will feature two mini-courses: one on algebraic statistics and one on combinatorics in mathematical physics. We will also have contributed talks and a poster session by participating graduate students, providing an opportunity for students to present their research and engage with peers working in related areas.

Main Speakers:

• Liam Solus - KTH Sweden; Minicourse on Algebraic Statistics
• Rowan Yeats - University of Waterloo

Participants may apply to contribute an oral and/or poster presentation. There is limited funding available for poster presenters and contributed talks. The application deadline for funding and contributions is September 27, 2026. Acceptance notifications are sent out shortly after.

Community agreement

• Our goal is to create a fun and supportive environment, where all participants feel welcome, safe, and included, regardless of mathematical background, gender identity and expression, nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, age, disability, or any other factor.
• We strongly believe that all participants have something valuable to contribute to the meeting, regardless of background or level of experience, and encourage everyone to ask questions and share ideas throughout all parts of the meeting. In particular, there are no questions that are “too basic”, and it’s perfectly natural to make mistakes. We also encourage everyone to be open to other people’s ideas, and make sure that everyone is heard and included in group discussions.
• There will be space on the name tags where everyone can indicate their personal gender pronouns if they want to, and it's important that this is respected. If you are unfamiliar with the practice of sharing and using pronouns, here is a useful guide.
• If you witness harassment or discriminatory behaviour, please consider intervening. We need the whole community to work together to make this event the welcoming and rewarding experience for all that we strive to achieve. If you do not feel comfortable intervening yourself, please seek out an organizer.
• A more detailed code of conduct may be found on the GSMAAC website.
