2018-2019 season

TopoLyon

Website of the Lyon collaboration on Topology in Matter.

We are happy to announce we will be holding a number of symposia on the broad topic of topology in matter.

These meetings will aim to bring together the large community of physicists and mathematicians interested in various forms of topological aspects of physical systems. We are confident these exciting meetings will help foster collaborations.

Talks will be experimental and theoretical.

Registration for the meetings is free, but we do ask that you fill in a short registration form here.
