RISAT organizes several workshops a year, mostly in Albania, but also in surrounding countries and in the USA. Each of the main groups organize one or two workshops per year. For more details check each group under Projects.
Summer Schools
In 2008 in Vlora was organized a NATO Advanced Study Institute, financed by a NATO grant. The PI for this grant was Prof. Shaska, who a couple of years later was also one of the founders of RISAT. IN 2014, T. Shaska and E. Zhupa organized another NATO Advanced Study Institute in Ohrid (North Macedonia). Since then RISAT regularly applied for grants and organizes Summer Schools in Albania and surrounding countries.

ACA Vlora 2009
The ACA series of conferences is devoted to promoting all manner of computer algebra applications, and encouraging the interaction of developers of computer algebra systems and packages with researchers and users (including scientists, engineers, educators, etc.). Topics include, but are not limited to, computer algebra in the sciences, engineering, medicine, pure and applied mathematics, education and computer science.
ACA 2010 was organized in Vlora, Albania from June 24-27, 2010.
NATO ASI, Ohrid 2014
The goal of the Advanced Study Institute is to provide training and expertise to mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers from NATO and partner countries in the area of arithmetic of hyperelliptic curves in developing and maintaining crypto systems based on hyperelliptic cryptography. All activities awere supported by ISEG.EAP.ASI 984724 NATO grant.
