The next Young Researchers Conference of the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society, 3CJI, will take place in the University of Murcia in September 7 – 11, 2015.
The meeting will include one parallel session on Algebra (organized by Elias Baro and Gemma Colomé) and another one revolving around Algebraic Geometry and Singularities (organized by Miguel Marco and Víctor González Alonso).
For more information, see the web site for the Conference.

The Fields Institute in Toronto, Ontario, will host a semester-long Thematic Program in Computer Algebra in Fall 2015.
The thematic program focuses on current and emerging areas of importance in computer algebra: symbolic linear algebra, algorithms for algebraic and semi-algebraic geometry, hybrid symbolic-numeric computing, algorithms for differential algebra and symbolic combinatorics, and the area of computer-enhanced mathematical collaboration and certified algorithms.
The December workshop on Algebra, Geometry, and Symbolic Proofs may be of particular interest to commalg.org readers.
More information will be available on the webpage for the program.

There will be a SIAM Conference on Applied Algebraic Geometry (AG15), August 3-7, 2015, in Daejeon, South Korea. The conference is sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry.
For more information, see the web page for the Conference.

The forty-fifth Summer Research Institute, sponsored by the American Mathematical Society and organized in collaboration with the Clay Mathematics Institute, will be devoted to algebraic geometry and will be held at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, July 13-31, 2015.
The goal of the three-week institute is to review major achievements in and around algebraic geometry in the past decade, and bring the attendants to the forefront of the relevant subjects. The three weeks will be roughly focused respectively on

1. analytic methods, birational geometry and classification, commutative algebra and computational geometry, Hodge theory, singularities, and characteristic p methods.
2. derived algebraic geometry, derived categories, geometric representation theory, Gromov-Witten and Donaldson-Thomas theories, mirror symmetry, tropical geometry.
3. p-adic Hodge theory, rational points and Diophantine problems, arithmetic fundamental groups, topology of algebraic varieties, cycles, and cohomology theories.

The institute will be generally modeled on the 2005 Summer Research Institute held at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, with plenary lecture series in the mornings, and parallel seminar series in the afternoons.
For more information about the Summer Institute, including the list of speakers and information about registration, please go to the institute webpage.
Registration deadline: January 15, 2015.
