The goal of this workshop is to provide a comprehensive view on recent advances on the theory of skein modules. The first skein to be defined, the Kauffman bracket skein module, was defined about 30 years ago independently by Przytycki and Turaev as a way to generalize the Jones polynomials to arbitrary 3-manifolds.

However, the theory of skein modules has since greatly expanded in breath and depth. Many other versions of skein modules have been defined, with different choices of skein relations and but also variants have been defined in dimension 4.

Many (often unexcepted) relationships between skein modules and other areas of mathematics have been discovered: character varieties, factorization homology, cate- gorification, Floer homology and even enumerative geometry.

The last 10 years in particular have seen many spectacular advances in our under- standing of the structure of skein modules, with the rapid development of the theory of representations of skein algebras, the proof of the finiteness conjecture, and progress in the categorification of skein modules and algebras.

The program of the workshop will celebrate those exciting developments, and try to reflect the richness of the subject.
