The K-Theory Foundation, Inc. intends to use some of its funds to regularly support conferences or summer/winter schools in K-theory and related subjects. Conferences which the Foundation has supported to date include the following:

  1. The Beijing Satellite Meeting on K-theory and related topics of the 2014 ICM in Seoul.
  2. Cuntz-Pimsner Cross-Pollination, a workshop at the Lorentz Center, Leiden, June 2018.
  3. The Buenos Aires Satellite Meeting on K-theory of the 2018 ICM in Rio de Janeiro.
  4. The Programme on K-theory, Algebraic Cycles, and Motivic Homotopy Theory at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, UK, May 3 - July 29, 2022.
  5. Conference on Motives from 1 to 62 (for Barbieri-Viale), Milano, Italy, February 21-23, 2022.

  15. Conference on Topics in K-Theory and NCG, Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 24-28, 2023
  16. Women in Topology workshop, Hausdorff Research Institute in Mathematics, Bonn, Germany, August 28-September 1, 2023.

Other conferences planned for the near future include:

  1. Twinned conference on C*-Algebras and Tensor Categories, ICMS, Bayes Centre, Edinburgh, UK and The Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada, 06 - 10 Nov 2023.

Now that the Foundation's journal Annals of K-Theory is well established, the Foundation has decided to set up a regular procedure for support of conferences.  Any mathematician or group of mathematicians intending to run a conference, workshop, or summer/winter school in K-theory and/or related areas is welcome to submit a proposal to the Foundation by writing to the Foundation's president (currently Marc Levine, University of Essen).  Proposals may be submitted at any time, but because most of the Foundation's income is received around the end of the calendar year, funding decisions will be made once a year in January.  The number of conferences supported in any year may vary, depending on the Foundation's financial situation at the time and the strength of the proposals received.  Decisions will be made by the Foundation's Board of Trustees, or by a committee of distinguished mathematicians appointed by the Board for this purpose.
