The tradition of the international conference Differential Geometry and its Applications goes back more than 40 years and the forthcoming meeting will be the 15th one in the series. It will take place in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, in the period July 17 - 22, 2022.

The International Conference on Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC) is an interdisciplinary conference series, focusing on recent advances in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics as well as applications and relations to other areas of mathematics, physics, biology and bioinformatics, and computer science. As the most important algebraic and enumerative combinatorics conference in the world, FPSAC's one-week annual meeting brings together researchers in the international algebraic combinatorics community as well as other areas of combinatorics and theoretical computer science, and links them with leading scientists from allied disciplines in pure and applied mathematics, bioinformatics and physics.

Today, digital information has become a valuable resource. However, the communication channels that we use for sending and receiving data and those that we use to store data, are imperfect and so subject to malicious attacks. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods for detecting bugs when they occur and, ideally, find new techniques to fix them and new strategies for preventing them. These are the main aims in coding theory and in cryptography: we need ever stronger mathematical tools to solve new and hard problems arising from the fast evolution of communication technologies. The School aims at bringing together Master/PhD students, academics, and industry security experts in order to figure out how some of the sophisticated algebraic and geometric methods have been applied in recent years in constructing error-correcting codes and in defining secure cryptosystems. The school includes a multi-disciplinary program and will last for a week; there will be 4 courses which will explain how geometric and algebraic tools are used in coding theory and cryptography. In addition to this, there will be a programming session devoted to the model-checking and analysis of security protocols with the aid of Tamarin Prover, a session in which industries will explain how codes and cryptographic systems play a crucial role in modern technologies and a contributed talk session for young researchers with a high profile, where the best presentation will be awarded. Also, there will be a lecture "De Componendis Cifris: a national initiative" by Prof. Massimiliano Sala from University of Trento in which he will introduce the national initiative De Components Cifris and the benefits of the synergies between Academia and Industries. Lecturers: Ilaria Chillotti (Zama) Delaram Kahrobaei (City University of New York) Alberto Ravagnani (Eindhoven University of Technologies) Leo Storme (Ghent University) Lecturer Programming Session: Mariapia Raimondo (Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli) Community Lecturer: Massimiliano Sala (Università degli Studi di Trento) Lecturers from Industries: Bluenet srl STMicroelectronics

This workshop is devoted to recent trends and developments in microlocal analysis and partial differential equations (PDEs). We hope that our workshop will give an opportunity for different communities working in micolocal analysis to come together, share ideas and establish new collaborations.

The International Symposium on Dynamic Games and Applications is a biennial professional event. The first one was held in 1984 in Haifa, Israel. It was followed by meetings in Williamsburg, USA (1986), Antibes, France (1988), Espoo, Finland (1990), Grimentz, Switzerland (1992), St. Jovite, Canada (1994), Kanagawa, Japan (1996), Maastricht, The Netherlands (1998), Adelaide, South Australia (2000), St. Petersburg Russia (2002), Tucson, USA (2004), Sophia Antipolis, France (2006), Wroclaw, Poland (2008), Banff, Canada (2010), Byšice, Czech Republic (2012), Amsterdam, the Netherlands (2014), Urbino, Italy (2016), Grenoble, France (2018). The topics covered in this Symposium include, but are not limited to, the following: - Dynamic games and applications; - Mean-field games; - Repeated games; - Stochastic games; - Learning and adaptive games; - Mechanism design; - Evolutionary games; - Cooperative equilibria; - H-infinity control and robust controller designs; - Theory of optimal control and dynamic games; - Numerical methods and computer implementation of game models; - Dynamic bargaining; - Pursuit-Evasion games; - Dynkin's game and its applications; - Search, encounter and inspection games; - Application of dynamic games in fields such as: networking (telecommunications, transportation...), economics and finance, management and marketing, environment, energy and resource management.

The VBAC 2022 conference: "Moduli Spaces and Vector Bundles - New Trends. On the occasion of Peter Newstead’s 80th birthday" will take place at the University of Warwick, 25-29 July, 2022. Please see the website for further information, including the list of invited speakers.

In view of the current pandemic, the organizers have decided to delay the conference by one year. It will now take place in 2022. Groups St Andrews 2022 is organized by the University of St Andrews and Newcastle University. It will take place in Newcastle between Saturday 30th July (arrival day) and Sunday 7th August 2022 (departure day). The talks will happen from 31st July until 6th August 2022 (inclusive). The conference, the eleventh in the series of Groups St Andrews Conferences, aims to cover all aspects of group theory. The short lecture courses are intended to be accessible to postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in all areas of group theory.
