Surfaces in Trieste brings together researchers in two-dimensional dynamics for five mini-courses and a research conference, connecting surface dynamics with topology, geometry and related fields.

• The first week (26–30 April 2027) features five five-hour mini-courses introducing current directions in surface dynamics and related topics.
• The second week (3–7 May 2027) is devoted to a research conference with invited lectures and scientific exchange.

The activity explores how topology, geometry and dynamics interact in two-dimensional systems, from topological and differentiable dynamics to symplectic methods, rotation theory and low-dimensional topology. It aims to connect established experts with students and early-career researchers, promote collaboration across disciplines, and strengthen participation by scientists from developing countries, particularly Latin America and Asia.

Topics:

• Topological and differentiable surface dynamics
• Fine curve graphs and big mapping class groups
• Symplectic dynamics and twist maps
• Rotation theory
• Flat surfaces
• Symbolic dynamics and inverse limits
