With the support of the Forschungsinstitut für Mathematik of ETH Zürich, we organized a conference on the topic of exponential sums over finite fields and their applications. The goal was to present all aspects of exponential sums over finite fields, understood in the widest sense, and their applications, in particular to problems in analytic number theory. It is hoped that this conference will help reinforce the understanding of the aspects involving tools from algebraic geometry, and the often intricate ways that exponential sums depending on these tools turn up in apparently unrelated arithmetic problems.

The schedule of the conference is available here.
