PIKIMO ("Phenomenology in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio") is a series of informal pheno meetings, geared towards graduate students and young postdocs. Its goal is to connect researchers at "local" institutions in the midwest (roughly at driving distance from each other). The meetings usually happen on a Saturday during the fall and spring terms and feature short presentations, one or two longer talks by invited keynote speakers, and ample time of discussion during lunch and coffee breaks.
PIKIMO 16 will take place on Saturday, May 4, at UIUC. Registration is open on the indico page, where more information on transportation, parking, hotels, etc. can be found.
For all future meetings, we will follow a rotation scheme for the host institutions:
| Fall 2024: | LCPT U Michigan |
| Spring 2025: | U Kentucky |
| Fall 2025: | Northwestern U |
| Spring 2026: | PITT PACC |
| Fall 2026: | U Notre Dame |
| Spring 2027: | Cincinnati U |
| Fall 2027: | Ohio State U |
| Spring 2028: | Indiana U |
| Fall 2028: | U Illinois Urbana-Champaign |
This scheme is based on past installments; changes can be discussed during the PIKIMO meetings.
