Deadlines.
Registration is required by April 15. Applications for funding and
for contributed talks will be considered until March 15th. Check out
the registration page on our the school's web page.

Aims of the school.
The school's lectures will be mainly aimed at Ph. D. students and
young researchers, and should be of interest for all researchers in
this area of mathematics, as it should cover many of the
combinatorial, topological, algebraic and geometric aspects of the
topic. Participants are encouraged to propose contributed talks of 30
minutes.

Sponsors.
The school is financed by the ANR projects ANR Interlow, ANR GeoLMI,
by the department of mathematics LMA in Pau, by the Institut
Pluridisciplinaire de Recherche Appliquee, by GDR Geometrie Algebrique
et Geometrie Complexe, GDR Tresses, GDR Singularites, Conseil de la
Recherche de l'Universite de Pau, Conseil Regional d'Aquitaine,
Communaute d'agglomeraiton de Pau, Conseil General 64.

The school will take place at Pau's university Campus. Lectures
should begin on Monday 11 in the morning, and end on Friday the 15th
before lunch.

Further announcements with more details will follow.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide.

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. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. 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 announcement 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.

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
