The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts and young researchers working on the following topics:
- the Bounded Negativity Conjecture, and related problems in linear
series;
- Positivity of line bundles and related topics.
We are aiming at having a rich and diverse audience, and at creating a lively environment for stimulating discussion among the participants. There will be a sinergy between research talks and time for working in groups, to investigate problems formulated by the audience itself. For further information, please visit the following webpage:
