About the Conference

After the destruction of his home city, the Trojan hero Aeneas escapes with his father, prince Anchises, and his young son, Ascanius. His long journey will bring him to Italy, where his descendant Romulus will found Rome: the three stages of life, migrating through the Mediterranean Sea, bringing with them their cultural heritage.

The format of the conference is new and inspired by Aeneas myth: 1.5-hour talks, each of which with three speakers. The goal is to chorally present a research area, through the different sensibilities and experiences of the lecturers, who are at different stages of their academic careers.

This new format will boost interactions and discussion among participants too, helping PhD students and young researchers in algebraic geometry to develop new collaborations.
