However, more established researchers in nearby fields who wish to=20 enhance their knowledge on these topics are also welcome. Lecture series=20 will be given by the following researchers who constitute the Scientific=20 Committee of the meeting: - Maria Manuel Clementino - Dominique Bourn - George Janelidze - Jiri Rosicky - Walter Tholen. If time permits there will be an opportunity for participants to present=20 talks on their own research. The local organizer of the Summer School is=20 Francis Borceux. It is estimated that the total cost of the meeting will=20 be about 975 Euros per person: this covers the registration fee,=20 transportation from and to Brussels airport or Li=E8ge railway station (o= n=20 the designated arrival and departure days), accommodation and meals=20 (including conference dinner and drinks with meals), social activities=20 and an excursion (excluding dinner on the excursion day). Unfortunately,=20 the organizers do not have funds available to provide any financial=20 support. Accommodation in Haute-Bodeux is strictly limited, and attendance at the=20 meeting will be by invitation only. However, anyone who wishes to be=20 considered for invitation, or to propose names of people who might be=20 invited, is asked to send an e-mail to Walter Tholen=20 before the end of September 2006. It is=20 expected that invitations will be sent out early in November 2006. Those=20 invited will be sent formal letters of invitation to assist them in=20 obtaining funding, and will also be provided with a reading list of=20 material which may be assumed in the Summer School lectures.
