February 02 – 04, 2026

The aim of this workshop is to tighten the connection between leading experts and young scientists in the multiple related areas of discrete, polyhedral and combinatorial geometry including tropical geometry, software development and applications.

We will also celebrate the 60th birthday of Michael Joswig who contributed significantly in all of these mathematical areas.
