The objective of this workshop is to bring together experts in the field of wave propagation in topologically non-trivial and/or disordered materials. It will provide an opportunity for physicists exploring the topological aspects of wave physics or the role of disorder correlations in various systems, ranging from solid-state electronics to cold atoms, optics, and acoustics, to exchange ideas.

A call for a few contributed talks is open (priority will be given to PhD students), and a poster session will be organized during the workshop.

The Scientific Institute of Cargèse (IESC) was founded in the 60s under the impetus of theoretical physicist Maurice Levy. Since then, it has grown steadily to host a number of internationally renowned thematic schools. It is located on the edge of the small Corsican village of Cargèse. Informations to reach the workshop are available in the "Venue" section.
