Description
In 2025, we celebrate the 65'th birthday of Balázs Csikós. As recognition of this special occasion and Professor Csikós' many contributions to the field of Geometry, we are pleased to announce that a one day workshop titled "Discrete and Differential Geometry Day" will be held on May 19, 2025 at the Rényi Institute of Mathematics, Budapest. Everyone is welcome to join us in this celebration.
