*讲座内容简介：
Talk 1: Title: On the birational geometry of foliations. Abstract: Foliation theory has been a crucial role in birational geometry over the past few decades, such as in Miyaoka's resolution of the abundance conjecture for complex projective varieties of dimension three. This talk aims to provide an overview of the theory of birational geometry of foliations and highlight some of its applications.

Talk 2: Title: On the MMP for algebraically integrable foliations. Abstract: The purpose of this talk is to provide an overview of the recent developments on the Minimal Model Program for algebraically integrable foliations over a complex projective variety.
