Description: The Gökova Geometry-Topology Conferences were inaugurated in 1992 with the support of TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey), and are annually held at the scenic Gokova Bay next to a forest preserve, on the southwestern coast of Turkey. GGT have been supported by TUBITAK since its inception, and since 2005 it has also been receiving partial funding from NSF. Over the years the topics of these conferences were chosen from the exciting subjects of Geometry and Topology, usually with the most recent developments taking the front stage.
