January 19, 2022: The Fields Institute is currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All activities of the institute will continue online until further notice.

We are actively monitoring University of Toronto, Toronto Public Health, Public Health Ontario, and Government of Canada guidance and instructions and are altering our operations accordingly. 

When will the Fields Institute reopen? 

The Fields Institute is closely following public health developments and directives. All Fields Institute activity will be conducted remotely until February 7, 2022 at the earliest, with most staff working at home. As of this time, we do not yet know when in-person activities will resume. Please check back here often for updates. Re-opening is planned for Spring 2022, but this may change as the situation evolves.
