## Irregular Events

### 2017 – February

• Winter School on $\mathbf{A}^1-$-Homotopy Theory — in cooperation with GK1821.
The school covers The basic constructions of the unstable and stable $\mathbf{A}^1$-homotopy categories will be presented, along with the relevant category-theoretic methods, such as model structures, left Bousfield localization and symmetric spectra. These constructions will be applied to more recent developments, such as the questions of $\mathbf{A}^1$-contractibility and the minus-part of the stable $\mathbf{A}^1$-homotopy category – Link
