Summer School on Topos Theory
SUMMER SCHOOL ON TOPOS THEORY Haute-Bodeux, Belgium 29 May -- 5 June 2005 A Summer School on Topos Theory will be held in Haute-Bodeux, a village in the Ardennes region of south-east Belgium, between 29 May 2005 (arrival day) and 5 June 2005 (departure day). The primary aim of the meeting is to provide students and young researchers who already have a working knowledge of categories with an opportunity to learn something of the diversity and richness of topos theory. However, more established researchers in nearby fields who wish to learn more about topos theory are also welcome. Lectures will be given by the following (who constitute the Scientific Committee of the meeting): Steve Awodey Peter Freyd Peter Johnstone Bill Lawvere Ieke Moerdijk Myles Tierney In addition, there will be tutorials and workshops to reinforce the material covered in the lectures, and (if time permits) there will be an opportunity for participants to present talks on their own research. The local organizer of the Summer School is Francis Borceux. It is estimated that the total cost of the meeting will be about 1030 euros per person: this covers the registration fee, transportation from and to the airport or railway station, accommodation and meals (including drinks with meals), social activities and an excursion. Unfortunately, the organizers do not have funds available to provide any financial support. Accommodation in Haute-Bodeux is strictly limited, and attendance at the meeting will be by invitation only. However, anyone who wishes to be considered for invitation, or to propose names of people who might be invited, is asked to send an e-mail to Peter Johnstone <ptj@dpmms.cam.ac.uk> before the end of October 2004. (Those who have already responded to the notices distributed at various meetings in summer 2004 need not e-mail again.) It is expected that invitations will be sent out early in November 2004. Those invited will be sent formal letters of invitation to assist them in obtaining funding, and will also be provided with a reading list of material which may be assumed in the Summer School lectures. 26-Sep-2004 17:09:29 -0300,2469;000000000001-00000000
