Developing the Next Generation of Mathematical Scientists

AMSI Winter School is an annual two-week school (first held in 2005) designed for postgraduate students, early-career researchers and industry professionals in the mathematical sciences and related disciplines.

Each year, the school focuses on a specific theme, chosen from emerging national and international research trends and priorities, and provides a scaffolded introduction to current research by national and international experts, presenting open problems or cutting-edge techniques.

Participants expand their skills and knowledge while building collaborative national networks.

Celebrating the program’s 20th edition, the 2026 AMSI Winter School on Geometric Analysis will be hosted at The University of Queensland. The academic program explores the intersection between differential geometry, global analysis and mathematical physics, covering recent advances in Ricci flow, geometry measure theory and non-linear PDEs.

With key topics in Einstein manifolds, eigenvalue problems and monotonicity formulas for elliptic and parabolic operators, the curriculum will offer a comprehensive study of these mathematical concepts and their real-world applications in fields such as physics, biology, data science, and engineering.

To maximise the experience, several program extras including social events, specialist lectures, participants talks and activities will complement the academic program to encourage networking and collaboration.
