Finite Geometry Workshop 2025

This is a four-day workshop that brings together experts in the fields of finite geometry, Galois fields, cryptography, coding theory, and combinatorics.

The agenda for the workshop includes a range of topics:

1. Finite Fields and Galois Geometries
2. Algebraic Curves over Finite Fields and Post-Quantum Cryptography
3. Boolean Functions and Symmetric Cryptography
4. Algebraic Graph Theory
5. Independent Sets in Hypergraphs
6. Arcs and Caps from Cubic Curves and Their Applications in Coding Theory
