About

This is the website for an algebraic topology conference series meeting every two years in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Each conference features a variety of events (mini-courses and lecture series, research talks, contributed talks, and general public talks) focusing on recent developments in algebraic topology and their applications to other fields of mathematics, physics, and data science. Click here for more information on past iterations.

The next meeting will take place on July 10–17, 2026. Registration is now closed. The event will feature a mini-course session from July 10-12 (taking place at University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras) and a research conference from July 13-17 (taking place at the Ateneo Puertorriqueño). Stay tuned for further updates. This iteration is an official satellite event of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2026 (July 23-30, 2026).
