Lean Workshop 2025 : Formalising Algebraic Geometry

Heidelberg University, 19-21 November 2025

This workshop is aimed primarily at PhD students with an interest in formalising results from algebraic geomery using the Lean theorem prover. Participants will work in teams on formalisation projects designed by our guest speakers.

To apply for the workshop please send an email to lean-workshop@mathi.uni-heidelberg.de before October 10th (see Prerequisites for details).
