1. Introduction & Purposes

Algebraic geometry has long been a very active discipline in mathematics. It is also intertwining with the development of number theory, differential geometry, mathematical physics, representation theory, and even some branches of real-world applications. During the past three decades, not only the core birational geometry has great advances thanks to Birkar-Cascini-Hacon-McKernan and Birkar’s work on BAB conjecture, but also there are various new ideas, methods and techniques appeared, such as derived categories, mirror symmetry, Berkovich spaces, and K-stabilities.
Starting from 2004, NCTS inaugurated the series of workshops “Higher Dimensional Algebraic Geometry” roughly every three years. The first purpose of this workshop series is to bring the key players in algebraic geometry to Taiwan to present their cutting-edge research work. The organizing committee was formed by inviting world-leading algebraic geometers. We have Mihnea Popa (Harvard), Chenyang Xu (Princeton) and Kawamata (Tokyo) in the committee this time. The selection of speakers reflecting the most frontier research topics in algebraic geometry.   But also, we would like to promote younger generation and local algebraic geometers to the international stage as well. This series of workshop has gained considerable international reputation thanks to the consistent support of NCTS.
In cooperate with the event HDAG 2026 to be held on April 13-April 17, 2026. We organize several mini-courses in the week before to serve as a bootcamp for younger researchers.
