Masterclass: Proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture
University of Copenhagen
18-22 August 2025
The masterclass aims to provide an overview of the recently announced proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture with a series of lectures given by the team that proved the conjecture. An article in Quanta has already covered these developments. The timing is ideal for an event that aims to make these developments accessible to a wider mathematical audience.
The conference/masterclass will take place at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. See detailed instructions on how to reach Copenhagen and the conference venue.
Tickets and passes for public transportation can be bought at the Copenhagen Airport and every train or metro station. You can find the DSB ticket office on your right-hand side as soon as you come out of the arrival area of the airport. DSB has an agreement with 7-Eleven, so many of their shops double as selling points for public transportation.
A journey planner in English is available.

We kindly ask the participants to arrange their own accommodation.
We recommend Hotel 9 Små Hjem, which is pleasant and inexpensive and offers rooms with a kitchen. Other inexpensive alternatives are Steel House Copenhagen (close to city centre), and CabInn, which has several locations in Copenhagen: the Hotel City (close to Tivoli), Hotel Scandinavia (Frederiksberg, close to the lakes), and Hotel Express (Frederiksberg) are the most convenient locations; the latter two are 2.5-3 km from the math department. Somewhat more expensive – and still recommended – options are Hotel Nora and Ibsen's Hotel.
An additional option is to combine a stay at the CabInn Metro Hotel with a pass for Copenhagen public transportation (efficient and reliable). See information about tickets & prices.
Please register using the following link before 1 June.
Due to the limitation of the size of the lecture room, we cannot promise to accomodate everyone. The list of participants will be finalized after the deadline of registration.
We hope to provide a small amount of funding (2500 dkk) for early career participants. The list of funded participants will be decided after the deadline of registration.
