The purpose of the workshop is to bring together experts in the field of wave scattering in topologically nontrivial materials as well as to create a venue for exchange of ideas between physicists exploring topological aspects of wave physics in various systems ranging from solid state electronics to cold atoms, optics, and acoustics.

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.
