September 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This workshop will bring together leading researchers in the area of statistical mechanics with a focus not only on planar models, but also reaching beyond it as well as beyond exact aolvability. In recent years, there has been remarkable progress in our understanding of lattice models, in particular of the planar case where different notions of exact solvability come into play. This workshop will bring together leading researchers in the area of statistical mechanics and their scaling limits. On the one hand we will focus on recently developed exact solutions to some of these models, but on the other hand we will also aim to reach beyond the planar and exactly solvable cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop will be a great opportunity for experts in these and related subjects to meet and exchange ideas at the very sensitive time when these new theories are still dynamically developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This workshop is now fully booked.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Speakers<\/strong> <strong>of the workshop:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/perso.lpsm.paris\/~boutillier\/\">Cedric Boutillier<\/a> (Sorbonne\u00a0Universit\u00e9)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/dauphine.psl.eu\/recherche\/cvtheque\/profil\/de-tiliere-beatrice\">B\u00e9atrice de Tili\u00e8re<\/a> (Universit\u00e9 Paris Dauphine-PSL)<br>Harry Giles* (TU Wien)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/math.univ-lyon1.fr\/~garban\/\">Christophe Garban<\/a> (Universit\u00e9 Lyon 1)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uibk.ac.at\/mathematik\/personal\/aglazman\/\">Sasha Glazman<\/a> (Universit\u00e4t Innsbruck)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stat.berkeley.edu\/~vadicgor\/\">Vadim Gorin<\/a> (University of California)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/profile\/levihs\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/profile\/levihs\">Levi Haunschmid-Sibitz<\/a> (KTH Stockholm)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.durham.ac.uk\/staff\/tyler-helmuth\/\">Tyler Helmuth <\/a>(Durham University)<br>Lorca Heeney-Brockett (TU Wien)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phys.ens.psl.eu\/~jacobsen\/index_english.html\">Jesper Jacobsen<\/a> (ENS, Paris)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/w3.impa.br\/~lacoin\/\">Hubert Lacoin<\/a> (IMPA)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lpsm.paris\/users\/tlupu\/en\">Titus Lupu<\/a> (Sorbonne Universit\u00e9)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unige.ch\/~panisr\/\">Romain Panis<\/a> (Universit\u00e9 Lyon 1)<br>L\u00e9onie Papon (TU Wien)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/eveliinapeltola.webnode.fi\/\">Eveliina Peltola<\/a> (Universit\u00e4t Bonn)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/mrusskik.github.io\/.github.io\/index.html\">Marianna Russkikh<\/a> (University of Notre Dame)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/franco-severo\">Franco Severo<\/a> (Sorbonne Universit\u00e9)<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceremade.dauphine.fr\/~toninelli\/\">Cristina Toninelli<\/a> (University Paris Dauphine &#8211;
