The meeting will start Monday afternoon and will end Friday early afternoon and is held in conjunction with the Kick-Off event of the SAGA Network. The first part of the meeting (monday to wednesday) will be devoted to present the SAGA Network to the participants and the second part will include several keynote speakers together with contributed talks from the participants.

The meeting aims at supporting the exchange of ideas between the fields of Algebraic Geometry, Numerical Analysis, and Geometric Modelling. Topics of interest include:

• Geometry of curves and surfaces.
• Rational/implicit representation.
• Resultant constructions and implicitization.
• Singularities: detection and analysis.
• Curves and surfaces classification.
• Intersection problems.
• Approximate and/ or certified methods.
• Computer Implementations of Algorithmic Algebraic Geometry.
• Isogeometric Analysis.

SAGA RECRUITING EVENT

The workshop is aligned with the recruiting event of the SAGA Network. SAGA is looking for promising candidates to fill its available positions. SAGA aims at advancing the mathematical foundations of CAD technology, which can be greatly enhanced by exploiting new techniques from many different mathematical fields such as Algebraic Geometry, Symbolic Computation, Numerical Analysis, Approximation Theory.

SAGA offers an environment of researchers from different areas with a common vision, and tailor-made opportunities to learn geometric modelling both from the industrial and the fundamental mathematics perspective.

For in-depth information about the project, the consortium, and research projects, candidates are invited to attend this meeting. There is funding for travel and local expenses available for a limited amount of candidates to be interviewed during the school, but anyone interested is free to attend without having to commit to a position.
