In many scientific domains, such as Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Quantum Information, Robotics, problem modeling involves polynomial systems. Algebraic/Exact methods for polynomial system solving, such as Gröbner basis computations, allow one to compute an exact representation of the solutions of the system.
The first ALgeBrAic meThods foR pOlynomial System Solving (ALBATROSS) workshop/summer school will take place on the Pierre-et-Marie-Curie Campus of Sorbonne Université, in Paris, France, from Tuesday 1st to Friday 4th September 2026. Its goal is to highlight facets of polynomial system solving and their applications. The program will consist in plenary talks, contributed talks and practical computational sessions. The latter will primarily focus on the Julia package AlgebraicSolving.jl and the library msolve.
