The aim of the workshop: We would like to introduce the basic tools of noncommutative geometry to an uninitiated audience of mathematicians and physicists on one hand, and inform the initiated audience about the recent status of the state of the art on the other. We would like to facilitate further interactions between noncommutative geometry, Hopf algebra theory, number theory and physics by bringing in experts in these areas together.

Sponsors: This workshop is made possible by generous contributions from IMBM, TUBITAK and Bahçeşehir University.
