1~12 Aug 2011: CIMPA-ICTP SCHOOL 2011

The Algebra Research Division together with the International Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics (CIMPA ) and the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) has organized The Joint Research School Geometric Representation Theory on August 1-12, 2011 in Institut Teknologi Bandung.

The aim of the School is to train young students in research activity in several areas of Geometric Representation Theory. The proposed topics include areas which are currently very active and the School intends to initiate the students in research by proposing them Research Projects under the supervision of senior researchers involved in the School. The school gives sufficient background to provide the students with the necessary tools to start their PhD work. The presence of a large number of mathematicians working in Geometric Representation Theory is going to strengthen the impact of this research discipline in Indonesia. The students coming to the School come from many parts of the greater region and we intend to use the contacts which are certainly going to be established to build on further networks centering around Geometric Representation Theory in South-East Asia.
