The eighth edition of ARTA will present recent research developments in tilting and \tau-tilting theory, torsion theory, combinatorial methods in representation theory, geometric representation theory, module categories and self-injective algebras, homological methods in representation theory, triangulated categories, derived categories and relationship with cluster algebras. We will also explore the deep links with other closely related areas such as Lie theory and geometry, as well as possibly new research directions that would appear between now and the conference.
