July 23 - 25, 2025
Venue: Lipschitz-Saal (Endenicher Allee 60, Bonn)
Organizers: Alice Dell'Arciprete (University of York); Alexis Langlois-Rémillard (University of Bonn); Dinushi Munasinghe (University of Toronto) and David Schwein (University of Bonn)
Description: QTMART is a workshop on algebra and representation theory taken in a broad sense, run by and for queer and trans mathematicians. It aims to showcase the research done in this field by this community and bring together senior researchers, junior researchers, and graduate students to discuss topics of common interest in a non-competitive environment.
Alongside the workshop, an exploratory program on queer mathematics and inclusion will take place. The activities of the program will focus on exploring what it means to do mathematics as a queer or trans mathematician, and if there is such a thing as queer mathematics. It will also address the question of how to make the working culture and environment more welcoming and diverse, and will aim to initiate concrete actions in this regard.
This workshop welcomes talks by early-career researchers. Please indicate on the application form if you would like to give a talk and on what topic.
The event is open to everyone accepting the community agreement. However, priority in assigning talks will be given to self-identifying queer and trans mathematicians, and some activities in the program will be reserved for this group.
Plenary Speakers:
- Chris Bowman (University of York)
- Ian Musson (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
- J. Daisie Rock (FWO, KU Leuven, UGent)
- Beth Romano (King's College London)*TBC
- Dani Tubbenhauer (University of Sydney)
The University of Bonn and HCM are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We aim to increase the proportion of women and non-binary people in areas where they are underrepresented and to facilitate their careers. We therefore strongly encourage women and non-binary people with relevant qualifications to apply.
To encourage the participation of young researchers facing increased financial burden, such as researchers from developing countries, a small number of funded places are available. Please indicate in your application for which type of financial support you would like to be considered.

The deadline for the application for participation is March 10, 2025.
