The theory of automorphic forms is a central area of modern mathematics due to its depth and connections to a large number of other disciplines. This feature makes it attractive but also difficult to enter. The summer school will provide a motivated introduction to this rich field through exciting recent developments. It is aimed at graduate students and early career researchers. Four minicourses will be given by top researchers of the younger generation. Financial support will be provided to selected participants in the form of accommodation and catering (details to be shared later).
