The school is devoted to braids and their different applications and aspects. This third edition of Winter Braids occurs in the framework of the ANR projects Interlow and VasKho, and is organized by the Institut Fourier and the GDR Tresses. Besides the main lectures, there will be three half-days devoted to student presentations (not necessarily focused on braids or their generalisations). All talks will be held in english.
The first edition of Winter Braids was organized in Pau in 2011, and the second one was held in Caen last year.
