Themes

In recent years, the intersection of topological data analysis, Morse theory, and combinatorial topological dynamics has emerged as a fertile ground for new questions and insights. With this workshop, we aim to create a platform where researchers interested in these topics can meet together to exchange ideas, formulate new research questions, and start new collaborations. The limited number of talks and participants will provide a plenty of space for discussions and individual interactions.

Accommodation

There are several hotels in the vicinity of the workshop venue, among others a new Hotel Convictus Cracovia (Łojasiewicza Street 2, 30-348 Kraków, convictus.pl), just 300 metres from the workshop site.
Moreover, there is a broad range of options available on booking.com, airbnb.com etc. Kraków does get busy in May though so it is good to plan ahead.

The shortest routes to the workshop venue from Hotel Convictus (red route) and from the nearest tram stop (Norymberska stop; blue route) are shown on the map (click here to download the pdf map).

Printing services are available on campus near the workshop venue. Printing an A2 poster costs approximately 50 PLN (15 USD / 14 EUR) and, outside of peak hours, can typically be done on the spot.

Travel

Kraków has regular air connections with many European cities (airport code: KRK).

From the airport, the cheapest and fastest way to reach the city center is by train. To find the train station, follow the signs at the terminal or check the airport website. Train tickets can be purchased from the conductor or from ticket machines. The machines offer an English-language interface and accept credit and debit cards.

Alternatively, you can use Uber, Bolt or regular taxi services. Be aware that taxis taken directly from the airport may charge significantly higher fares.

To reach the workshop venue from the city center, the cheapest option is to take a tram or bus. To find the best connection, use Google Maps, Jakdojade or other transit apps. Tickets can be purchased at ticket machines located at some tram/bus stops and inside all trams and buses. These machines also offer an English-language interface. However, not all accept cards - some only accept coins. Some mobile apps (e.g. Jakdojade) allow you to purchase tickets online.

Tickets purchased at machines must be validated using stamping machines located throughout the vehicle.
