1 sep 2025 - 5 sep 2025   [open in google calendar]

Totland, YHA, Isle of Wight

The sixth installment of the British Isles Graduate Workshop will focus on minimal surfaces. It will be held in the isle of Wight, from the 1st to the 5th of September 2025. It is targeted at PhD students and postdocs but open for application from all. The goal is for junior researchers to work together with three experienced mentors for a week. The format of the workshop is that three mentors propose three topics, split into six talks each. Participants sign up to give the talks. The atmosphere during the workshop is supportive, encouraging, and collaborative.

The meeting is held in-person only (no online option), and we aim to have around 30 participants. We will cover for accommodation and full board at the Isle of Wight - Totland Youth Hostel for all participants from Sunday afternoon to Saturday morning. Participants are expected to pay a 120 GBP registration fee as a contribution to the accomodation and sustenance expenses.

Limited travel funding might be available. If you require travel funding, please let us know during the application.

Topics The topics for the workshop will be published later on.
