We are organizing a student workshop based around recent developments in link homology theories, with particular focus on Khovanov homology and other quantum homology theories. The workshop will be paired with and provide background for a two-day research conference.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to carry out the workshop as a hybrid event, partially online and partially in person. Our intention is to host some talks virtually and others physically in Regensburg. All talks will be streamed online.

Before finalizing your travel plans, we would like to ask you to wait until we confirm that you can indeed participate in person. Moreover, it is your own responsibility to check which travel restrictions apply to you. As far as we understand, the rules as of 28 June 2021 can be summarized as follows: (No guarantees. Please check for yourself!)

Generally speaking, entry to Germany is only permitted if you are

• fully vaccinated or
• come from the European Union, the Schengen Area, or a country on a safe list; this list currently includes Australia, Japan, and the United States (among others).

Moreover, you cannot enter Germany if you come from an area of virus variants of concern; these areas currently include Brazil, India, Portugal, Russia, and the United Kingdom.

You only need to quarantine if you are not fully vaccinated and come from a risk area; these areas currently include the Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, and some parts of Ireland and Sweden. A complete list can be found here.

For full details, see this link.

examples: (Again, no guarantees. Please check for yourself!)

If you travel from the US, you can travel to Germany without quarantining. The same applies if you travel from Canada and are fully vaccinated. If you are currently in the United Kingdom, you can only participate online. If you arrive from China, you are currently not allowed to enter Germany, but this might change in the foreseeable future.

We advise that you do not make any bookings before we have confirmed that you can indeed participate.

Directions for travel to the University of Regensburg can be found here.
