The IPM Algebraic Geometry Immersion Program, or simply Schemeathon, is a seven-day residential program organized as part of the Decoding Dimensions initiative. Designed for students who have completed an introductory course in schemes, it seeks to bridge the gap between coursework and research by fostering mathematical fluency through intensive problem-solving, collaborative discussions, mini-projects, mathematical clinics, and guided exploration of selected advanced topics in algebraic geometry. More than a summer school, Schemeathon is an opportunity to spend a week living algebraic geometry and becoming part of a lasting mathematical community.
The 2026 edition of the program will be held at Khansar Campus, University of Isfahan, Khansar, Iran, from 8 to 14 August 2026.

Following an intensive week of collaborative mathematics at the Schemeathon 2026 in Khansar, we are excited to host the concluding Algebraic Geometry Festival. On Wednesday, September 2, 2026, starting at 10:00 AM at the IPM School of Mathematics, our participants will present projects. All colleagues, students, and algebraic geometry enthusiasts are warmly welcome to join us for a day of engaging talks and mathematical discussions. Here is the poster of the Festival. Come for the mathematics, stay for the discussions. See you on Wednesday!
