Workshop on New Currents in Geometry in Australia

highlighting the work of early career researchers

16-18 November 2009

The Institute for Geometry and its Applications will host a Workshop on New Currents in Geometry in Australia at the University of Adelaide from Monday 16 November to Wednesday 18 November 2009.

Research in geometry in Australia is being broadened and strengthened by young researchers who have joined universities around the country in recent years. In addition to lectures by many of the younger mathematicians working in geometry in Australia today, the workshop will provide an opportunity for informal discussions focused on new ideas and new directions in the diverse and interrelated geometric areas of mathematics.

The workshop is the first event in the IGA Special Year in Geometry and its Applications.

There is no formal registration process or fee, but, for planning purposes, please let us know if you plan to attend the workshop. Just drop an e-mail to finnur.larusson at adelaide.edu.au. We will be happy to suggest accommodation options to interstate visitors.
