School: Introduction to Isogeny-based Cryptography (TSVP-TP25IC)

Title: "Introduction to Isogeny-based Cryptography"

Abstract: Isogeny-based cryptography is a fast-moving field, and recent developments have introduced several new techniques, making the barrier of entry particularly high for young researchers wishing to work in the field. To aid new researchers in the field is the aim of this "summer" school, which introduces all of the many essential tools that are used today. Among the topics to be covered are the correspondences between ideals and isogenies that give rise to both the Deuring correspondence, which is an essential part of protocols such as SQIsign, and the class group action on CM curves and oriented supersingular curves, which gives other cryptographic primitives such as CSIDH and SCALLOP. Further, higher dimensional abelian varieties and isogenies between these have recently become an integral part of isogeny-based cryptography, providing huge improvements to many existing protocols, as well as creating new protocols.

OIST-Keio Showcase Talk Series Vol. 9 - Proteins in Focus: Cryo-EM and Structural Frontiers

OIST-Keio Showcase Talk Series Vol. 9 – Proteins in Focus: Cryo-EM and Structural Frontiers

The ninth edition of the OIST-Keio Showcase Talk Series brings together experts from Keio University, The University of Osaka’s Institute for Protein Research, and OIST to explore cutting-edge advances in protein science and cryo-electron microscopy. Talks will cover drug design, photosynthetic complexes, molecular motors, enzyme evolution, and viral architectures. This symposium highlights how cryo-EM is transforming our understanding of molecular mechanisms and driving innovation in medicine, biotechnology, and environmental science - with the aim of connecting researchers across institutions to enable interdisciplinary innovation.

This symposium will be followed by the 2026 Cryo-Electron Microscopy Course from January 28 to 30, which is aimed at beginners (admission is free). There experienced researchers will provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art and share their experiences in demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Seminar: DFG Funding Portfolio and the Research Landscape in Germany (German Research Foundation)

Seminar: DFG Funding Portfolio and the Research Landscape in Germany (German Research Foundation) 

Germany offers a diverse and dynamic research environment supported by a wide range of funding schemes, including those for international collaboration. In this seminar, we will introduce the structure of the German research landscape and present DFG’s major funding opportunities for postdoctoral researchers, early‑career scholars, and those aiming for professorship positions.

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is the largest self-governing funding organization for basic research in Germany. The DFG promotes the advancement of science and the humanities by funding research projects and facilitating cooperation among researchers
