The fifth edition of the Iris workshop will be held in Paris, France. It will be focused on Iris-related research, so as to allow for in-depth talks and discussions. The three-day-long program, with talks, extends from Monday, June 2 until Wednesday, June 4. Participants are encouraged to stay for one or two more days, on June 5 and June 6, for further informal discussions and interaction.

If you would like to propose a talk, please write to us with a description of your talk (a title and abstract). If the talk is based on a paper or preprint, please attach it or provide its URL. You may indicate whether you wish to give a regular talk or a long talk (but we may not be able to honor your wish).

Registration
The registration fee (135 euros) covers the lunches and coffee breaks during the main event only, from June 2 to June 4, as well as a group visit of a museum (stay tuned).
The workshop dinner is free of charge, as it is generously sponsored by Jane Street. The number of seats may have to be limited; priority will be given to participants who have registered earlier. If you do not wish to attend the dinner, please indicate this when registering.
