This programme aims to create a stimulating environment where mathematicians working in string inspired areas of toric geometry meet physicists who use toric geometry as a tool. Recent developments will be discussed over the disciplinary border, thereby facilitating progress on open problems and the formulation of new questions.

Topics

• Toric geometry as an arena for explorations in string theory, where a wide range of questions in physics can be tested with precise mathematical tools.
   
• String theory as an abundant source of intriguing mathematical questions.
   
• Specialist software for research in theoretical physics and mathematics (e.g. Macaulay2 and cytools) and machine learning tools for addressing open questions in theoretical physics and mathematics (e.g. ML libraries for Calabi-Yau metrics).
