Events

The Poisson 2026 event is the 14th in a series of international meetings on Poisson geometry aiming at bringing together researchers interested in Poisson geometry in a broad sense from all over the world. The event will take place in Belgium: - Poisson 2026 Summer School: 3-7 August 2026, in Antwerp - Poisson 2026 Conference: 10-14 August 2026, in Leuven The list of speakers, for both the school and the conference, is available on the event website: https://wis.kuleuven.be/events/2026_poisson/poisson2026 We plan to open the registration in January/February 2026.

Scientific Directors: Denis Bonheure, Univ. Libre Bruxelles, Belgium Giovanni P. Galdi, Univ. Pittsburgh, US Filippo Gazzola, Politecnico Milano, Italy Lectures: Sunčica Čanić, Univ. California at Berkeley, US - Fluid-Poroelastic Structure Interaction Irene Fonseca, Carnegie Mellon Univ., US - Gamma-Convergence and Phase Transitions of Heterogeneous Materials Anna L. Mazzucato, Penn State Univ., US - Boundary Layers in Fluid Flow Thomas Richter, Otto von Guericke Univ. Magdeburg, Germany - Modeling and Discretization of Fluid-Structure Interactions

The program will unite researchers from a number of areas: algebraic and complex geometry, arithmetic geometry, Hodge theory, and mathematical physics. It will bring theoretically and computationally oriented researchers together, expecting that computations will illuminate conjectures made by the theorists and that theory will enlarge the range of what can be computed. We intend to develop databases of certain types of K3 surfaces for the L-Functions and Modular Forms Database and promote the development of software for computations on K3 surfaces in Magma, SageMath, or other systems for public release.

AI Unlocked 2026, will bring together the brightest minds from academia, industry, and government to explore the power, promise and purpose of artificial intelligence. This two-day congress, chaired by Dr. Anjulika Salhan, a global expert in AI-driven innovation and founder of Systems Holdings, will be held at the prestigious Hyatt Regency in Birmingham. We invite you to join a dynamic community of AI pioneers shaping the future of machine learning and intelligent systems. World-class speakers from across sectors will share their research, breakthroughs, and real-world applications of AI, ranging from deep learning architectures and causal models to AI in finance, healthcare, governance, and regulation. Key themes include: • The evolving architecture of AI systems: transformers, GNNs, diffusion models • The rise of foundation models, multimodal AI, and explainability • Bridging theory and application: from generalisation and convergence to robust deployment • Policy and ethics: AI governance, regulatory frameworks, and public-private collaboration • What's next? Symbolic reasoning, AI safety, causal AI, and hybrid intelligence
