YFAW 2026 is a three-day workshop aimed at early-career researchers -primarily PhD students working in functional analysis and closely related areas such as operator algebras and function theory. The workshop is designed to provide a low-stakes, supportive environment in which participants can present and discuss their research, as well as learn about nearby topics through research-level talks delivered by colleagues at a similar career stage. In addition, the programme will feature a number of talks given by invited speakers in functional analysis and related fields.
