Summer School: August 14 - 18, 2023
Conference: August 21 - 25, 2023

Dimer models and related structures appear in various areas of mathematics and physics, ranging from cluster algebras to new approaches to scattering amplitudes in quantum field. The summer school will introduce graduate students to key areas of research in this field. The workshop will be dedicated to recent developments in the area.
