The slides can be found in the program

On 16-20 March 2015, Saarland University hosts the Workshop on Algebraic Complexity Theory – WACT 2015.
WACT 2014 was held in Saarbrücken, Germany.
WACT 2013 was held in Aarhus, Denmark.

Algebraic Complexity Theory is a classical subfield of computational complexity theory. In recent years, the field has been the subject of an intense revival. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together world leading experts within Algebraic complexity with the aim of discussing the current state of the art and setting the directions for the future.
