The Cascade Topology Seminar is supported by the National Science Foundation along with host institutions. There is no registration fee. We encourage anyone interested in topology to attend, especially those from historically underrepresented groups. Funds are available to support the attendance of graduate students and other early career mathematicians. If you are interested in support or have any other questions, please e-mail Dev Sinha at dps@uoregon.edu

There are many hotels close to campus, and Hyatt and EVEN hotels have shuttles to the University. Eugene is served by an airport (EUG) with direct flights to major western cities. You will need to arrange for cabs to and from the airport as there is no public transportation. Portland and its airport (PDX) are two hours away by car, and there are shuttles which go from campus to PDX (in more like three hours total).
