This workshop brings together physicists from theoretical cosmology and mathematicians from algebraic geometry and combinatorics, with the aim of exploring new collaborations. Going beyond existing interactions in the study of cosmological correlators, cosmological polytopes and their differential equations, we will explore new developments on twistor theory, Grassmannians, and related algebraic varieties.
