This is the second announcement of the Advanced Course on Simplicial Methods in Higher Categories February 4 to 14, 2008 Centre de Recerca Matemàtica Bellaterra (Barcelona) an event within the CRM thematic year on Homotopy Theory and Higher Categories http://www.crm.cat/hocat/ The Advanced Course consists of three lecture series: -- André Joyal (UQAM, Montréal) "The theory of quasi-categories and its applications" -- Ieke Moerdijk (Utrecht) "Dendroidal sets" -- Bertrand Toën (Toulouse) "Simplicial presheaves and derived geometries" In the preceding week (28/1--1/2), two preparatory mini-courses are planned: Myles Tierney: "Simplicial homotopy theory", and Mathieu Anel: "The functor-of-points approach to geometry, and stacks". The CRM offers a limited number of grants covering accommodation for young researchers. The deadline for application is October 31, 2007. Otherwise the deadline for registration is December 14.
