MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and its equivalent in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc.). This series of biennial international conferences started in 1990 and is devoted to computational and applied aspects of Algebraic Geometry and related topics, over any characteristics.

MEGA is the leading European conference in its area. We bring together established experts and emerging researchers to share recent breakthroughs, bridge the gap between theory and computation, and cultivate a diverse, growing research community.
