The second edition of the Mind the Gap Workshop will take place from 7–9 October 2026 in Kochel am See, Germany.
The workshop is dedicated to presenting recent advances in quantum mathematics and addressing structural gaps within the research community, particularly between early-career and senior researchers. Special attention will be given to the experiences and visibility of women in the field, while fostering a broader discussion on inclusion, mentorship, and career development.
Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) through TRR 352, the workshop will bring together leading experts and junior researchers to strengthen connections across career stages and promote a more inclusive and dynamic quantum mathematics community.
