GGTI has been hosting research workshops for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and junior researchers. This will be a similar week-long program including advanced undergraduates and graduates students. This particular program will focus on the *Khovanov homology*, and its applications in low dimensional topology.

We will cover the background material and explore construction of the Khovanov homology in a self contained way. We'll also introduce the “s-invariant” and it's applications.

Each day of the week we will have two or three introductory lectures presented by the mentors, followed by informal discussion/exercise sessions. There will be light reading assignments. All the participants are expected to read from the assigned sources before coming to the meeting.
