Programme
The programme includes three mini-courses by Goulnara Arzhantseva (University of Vienna), Christopher Schafhauser (University of Nebraska - Lincoln) and Jesse Peterson (Vanderbilt University). There will also be a number of contributed talks (20 minutes) as well as 3-minute ''poster talks'' and two distinguished panels on advice for early career researchers.

Career Panels
This year we are organizing two online early career panels consisting of senior mathematicians (from both academia and industry) from around the world with the intention of having a round-table discussion with advice for young mathematicians in operator algebras and surrounding areas.

Alcides Buss (Federal University of Santa Catarina)
Marcelo Laca (University of Victoria)
David Penneys (Ohio State University)
Thomas Timmerman (Codecentric)
Lyudmila Turowska (Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg)
Guoliang Yu (Texas A&M University)
Week 2:

Participation in person
We are happy to say that we do anticipate being able to host some participants in person in Münster. Unfortunately, as much as we wish we could welcome you all here in person, because of health and safety regulations, we must greatly restrict the number of participants that we host on location in Münster. Anyone intending to participate in person must notify us in advance.
Accommodation will be provided for all in person participants.
