TRAVEL SUPPORT:  Travel support for a limited number of advanced graduate
students and recent Ph.D.'s is being provided by the National Science
Foundation. 
To apply for funding, please send a request by e-mail to both Carolyn Gordon
<[log in to unmask]> and
Joseph Wolf <[log in to unmask]>.  Graduate students must request a letter
of
recommendation from their thesis advisors.  Recent Ph.D.'s should include a
description of up to a page of their research interests and plans, indicating
how they fit with the workshop.  The target date for  applications is August 12,
2007.  Applications received after that date will be considered if funding
remains.  Those awarded travel support can also expect local support through
Argentine funds.

The workshop is being supported by CONICET (Argentina), FONCYT (Argentina)
(pending), 
ICTP (Trieste, Italy) (pending), and the NSF.

Support for local expenses is available for a limited number of participants at
all career stages.

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference anouncement will also begin with that statement.  In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct! Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list.
