Update (9 March, 2020):
The spread of the coronavirus CoVid-19 has caused serious disruptions for travel, and holding our workshop can run our institutes into serious administrative difficulties. For these reasons, the organizers have decided to postpone the event. It is disappointing, and we sincerely regret the inconvenience that will surely be caused to all participants.



The "ReLaX" workshop on Games is intended to be a forum for interaction between researchers principally in theoretical computer science but approaching games from several different viewpoints, not only from game theory per se, but also other areas such as mathematics, economics, logic, biology, dynamical systems and control theory.

This is organised under the aegis of the Indo-French joint research unit UMI-ReLaX dedicated to research in theoretical computer science, its applications and its interactions with mathematics. Created in January 2017, ReLaX is an international joint research unit of CNRS, Université de Bordeaux, École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay, Chennai Mathematical Institute and the Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

The workshop consists of keynote talks, including a survey, and technical talks. Workshop will happen in an online mode.
