DESCRIPTION:\n	Summer school: 2 - 6 June 2025\n\n	Conference: 9 - 13 June 
 2025 \n\n	 \n\n	The summer school is aimed at graduate students in low-d
 imensional topology. The goal is to make students familiar with the novel 
 techniques in the field that have led to recent advances in our understand
 ing of four-dimensional manifolds.\n\n	 \n\n	The program will consist of 
 four mini-courses of 5 lectures each\, all accompanied by discussion sessi
 ons:\n\n1. Skein lasagna modules\, by\nMike Willis (Texas A&M) and\nMeliss
 a Zhang (UC Davis)\n\n	\n	2. Real Seiberg-Witten theory\, by\n	Hokuto Konn
 o (Tokyo U) and\n	Ian Montague (UT Austin)\n\n	\n	3. Kontsevich invariants
  from configuration spaces\, by\n	Jianfeng Lin (Tsinghua U) and\n	Danica K
 osanović (U Bern)\n\n	\n	4. Lefschetz fibrations and closed exotic 4-mani
 folds\, by\n	András Stipsicz (Rényi Institute) and\n	Zoltán Szabó (Pri
 nceton)\n\n	 \n\n	The conference will consist of several research talks o
 n topics of current interest in low dimensional topology\, including four-
 manifolds\, knot invariants\, categorification\, gauge theory\, and connec
 tions to physics.\n\n	 \n\n	Confirmed conference speakers:\n	Mina Aganagi
