The first annual meeting of the new GDR HOWDI took place in Dourdan near Paris from May 9th to 13th 2022. It was only on site, no live streaming has been recorded. 

The meeting was dedicated to the memory of François Ducastelle, who passed away last summer. The whole network has remembered with deep affection his inspiring vivid mind and his warm human qualities.

The programme outline and the abstract booklet are available.

The tutorial presentation given by Mr. Carpentier about topological phases is openly accessible at this link.

Some photos and the tutorial talks will be available soon on this website.
