The school, École thématique CNRS, is devoted to braids and their different applications and aspects. This nineth edition of Winter Braids is supported by the Université de Reims, GDR Tresses, Foundation Compositio, Projet Jeunes Géomètres, ANR CATORE and ANR LISA. Besides the main lectures, there will be short talks and a poster session devoted to student presentations (not necessarily focused on braids or their generalizations). All talks will be held in English. Practical informations are given on "Programme" and "Access" pages.
The lecture notes for the mini-courses given at the school will be published in Winter Braids Lecture Notes, an open-access online journal edited by cedram.
