The 11th International Workshop on

Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA)

September 7-11, 2026, Quality Hotel Sogndal, Sogndal

Organised by the Selmer Center

Change of venue: Please note that the venue for BFA 2026 has been moved to Sogndal, Norway due to concerns and uncertainty about the situation in the Middle East. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Accommodation: Participants can book rooms at the conference hotel through this link.

Boolean functions and more generally all the discrete structures used in error-correcting coding, cryptography or communications, are highly active research areas. The workshop Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA) provides a forum for researchers who are working on discrete functions and structures, particularly on Boolean functions and related topics, to exchange ideas and interests in open problems, and to further explore their applications in cryptography, artificial intelligence, error correcting codes and communications.
