Alpine Algebraic and Applied Topology Conference
15-21 August 2016
This conference
was held in the alpine village of
Saas-Almagell, in
the Swiss canton of Valais.
It gathered around 70
mathematicians, from PhD students to senior experts, and covered a
wide range of topics in algebraic topology, including
applied algebraic topology.

The conference featured a special day, wednesday 17th, with focus on algebraic
K-theory and
other "valaisan specialities", dedicated to Dominique Arlettaz on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday.
