Day 1 (April 02, 2016, 10.00 - 17:30)
 

An introduction to the foundational principles and formal structures of shape dynamics with an overview of some of the most significant results in the field. Slots for the talks will be 50 mins in length with approximately 25 mins of planned material leaving plenty of time for clarifications, constructive interruptions and discussions.

 

Day 2 (April 03, 2016, 10.00 - 17:30)

 

We will highlight some of the promising future research directions for Shape Dynamics. The talks will be organized into themed sessions beginning with a more conventional talk on the themed topic followed by a more informal ``back-room session'', inspired by the stimulating discussions in the back room of College Farm, which have been the basis for many important discoveries in Shape Dynamics.
