DESCRIPTION:\nDates:  June 22 - 24\, 2026\nOverview:\nThe theory of Higgs
  bundles provides a unifying framework for problems in topology\, represen
 tation theory\, integrable systems\, and quantum field theory. Over the pa
 st decades\, it has formalized our understanding of non-abelian Hodge theo
 ry and the geometric aspects of physical dualities.\nThis meeting addresse
 s recent progress in the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles and their physical
  applications. We will explore the intersection of algebraic\, differentia
 l\, and symplectic geometry with mathematical physics. Specific themes of 
 the workshop include Hitchin systems\, parabolic and singular structures\,
  spectral and cameral methods\, geometric Langlands duality\, and their re
 lation to supersymmetric gauge theories.\nBy bringing together researchers
  from these adjacent fields\, the conference aims to clarify recent advanc
 ements and prompt new collaborative efforts at the interface of geometry a
 nd physics.\nInvited speakers:\n\nOscar Garcia-Prada\nLynn Heller\nEnya Hs
