Presentation of the workshop

This workshop aims at bringing together mostly young researchers to spend one week studying a topic in low dimensional topology. Part of the week is dedicated to detailed talks taking time to introduce the background of the theory necessary to tackle more recent questions. Time is voluntarily made available to encourage discussion that the presentations will generate.

This is the fifth edition of the series "Between the Waves". The aim of this edition is to detail to understand Giroux's correspondence between open book decomposition and contact structures.
