I am aware that this is during the soccer match of the Netherlands. Currently I don’t know what to do with that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;mso-ligatures:none">Abstract: </span><span style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">The efforts of many mathematicians during the eighties, nineties, and early
two-thousands culminated in a clear path of action for the classification problem in 3-dimensional contact topology, both in the global version (contact structures) and the relative version (Legendrians/transverse links). However, the classification problem
for families of objects (contact structures, contactomorphisms, Legendrians, transverse links) has remained mysterious, both in the case of tight and overtwisted contact 3-manifolds. Very recently, Eliashberg and Mishachev proved the contractibility of the
space of tight contact structures standard at infinity in the Euclidean 3-space, giving a new impulse to the field.</span><span style="color:black;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.0pt"><span style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">In this series of talks, we will provide a panoramic overview of the classification problems for families in 3-dimensional
contact topology. In the first introductory talk, we will review the general strategy to tackle the problem, culminating with the microfibration trick for embedding spaces. In the second talk, we will explore several instances where the trick applies, i.e.,
where a complete classification can be addressed, and we will use it to study the new subclass of strongly overtwisted contact structures, which is governed by a parametric h-principle. Some parts of these talks will be based on joint works with Martínez-Aguinaga,
Min, Muñoz-Echániz, and Presas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
