The Galway Topology Colloquium is an annual peripatetic conference on topology.  Founded in 1997 at the University of Galway by Aisling McCluskey and Paul Gartside, the colloquia provide postgraduates and early career researchers in topology, as well as seasoned academics, with the opportunity to share their research in a friendly, informal and supportive environment.

Topology is interpreted broadly and includes set-theoretic topology, algebraic topology, continuum theory, topological dynamics, and topological data analysis, as well as cross fertilisation between topology and category theory, order theory, metric space theory, and analysis.

Rotating annually between the centres of topological research in Ireland and the UK, the Colloquia series is proud of its longstanding focus on the participation of graduate students. Speakers may present new results, discuss recent progress on open problems, or give expository lectures on some technique or area of interest. Graduate students are encouraged to present their own work.  In order to maintain the cohesive spirit of the Colloquium, it is envisaged that there will be no parallel sessions, permitting participants to attend all the presentations.
