Pre-Calabi-Yau algebras were introduced by M. Kontsevich and Y. Vlassopoulos around 2015. However, these structures (or equivalent ones) have appeared in other works under different names, such as V∞-algebras by T. Tradler and M. Zeinalian, A∞-algebras with boundary or noncommutative divisors in the work of P. Seidel, or weak Calabi-Yau structures in earlier talks by Kontsevich. They play an important role in homological algebra, symplectic geometry, string topology, noncommutative geometry and Topological Quantum Field Theory and they have been the focus of intensive study in the last years. The goal of the workshop is to celebrate the vibrancy of this relatively new topic by creating an environment where experts working in different aspects of this field can meet and exchange ideas and perspectives.

Some simple options to arrive in Grenoble are: 

(1) A flight to either

      (1a) Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport (LYS) 

      (1b) Geneva Cointrin airport (GVA), 

      (2a) If you picked option (1a), you might take then take

            (2aa) the train from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Grenoble train station (see www.sncf.com)

            (2ab) a bus from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Grenoble bus station (see https://www.flixbus.fr/ 

                     or https://www.blablacar.fr/)

      (2b) If you picked option (1b), you might then take 

            (2ba) the train from Geneva Cointrin airport to Grenoble train station, typically through Geneva

                     train station (see https://www.sbb.ch/)

            (2bc) a bus from Geneva Cointrin airport to Grenoble bus station (see https://www.flixbus.fr/ 

                     or https://www.blablacar.fr/).

The bus station of Grenoble (gare routière in French) is next to the train station. 

The workshop will take place in the Fourier Institute (https://maps.app.goo.gl/LuisC9aLmJFVerqa6?g_st=ic). To go to the Fourier Institute from the train station of Grenoble, pick the tramway B, direction "Gières, Plaine des Sports", and get off at the stop "Bibliothèques Universitaires". The Fourier Institute is just behind the restaurant "Le Martin's café".
