Anybody interested to participate in=20 the School is encouraged to email me before the end of this month.=20 Suggestions for contributed papers will also be considered by the=20 Scientific Committee. The info is also available on my webpage at http://www.math.yorku.ca/~tholen/ Regards, Walter Tholen. SUMMER SCHOOL ON CONTEMPORARY CATEGORICAL METHODS IN ALGEBRA AND TOPOLOGY Haute-Bodeux, Belgium, 3-10 June 2007 In the tradition of previous meetings held at this location, a Summer=20 School on Contemporary Categorical Methods in Algebra and Topology will=20 be held in Haute-Bodeux, a village in the Ardennes region of south-east=20 Belgium, from June 3 (arrival day) until June 10, 2007 (departure day).=20 Participants will stay in the "Hostellerie Doux-Repos" http://hotels.belgium-bookings.com/hotel/be/hostellerie-doux-repos.html?l= abel=3Dgl-hotels-Hostellerie-Doux-Repos or nearby guestrooms, all meals will be taken in the Hostellerie - which=20 is known for its excellent cuisine. The primary aim of the meeting is to=20 provide students and young researchers who already have a working=20 knowledge of categories with an opportunity to learn about various=20 topics of interest in categorical algebra and topology, including - categorical and topological aspects of semi-abelian theories, - categorical descent and Galois theory, - accessible categories and their applications to homotopy theory, - lax-algebraic methods in categorical topology. However, more established researchers in nearby fields who wish to=20 enhance their knowledge on these topics or present a paper are also=20 welcome. Lecture series will be given by the following researchers who=20 constitute the Scientific Committee of the meeting: - Maria Manuel Clementino - Dominique Bourn - George Janelidze - Jiri Rosicky - Walter Tholen. The local organizer of the Summer School is Francis Borceux (Universit=E9= =20 Catholique de Louvain). It is estimated that the total cost of the=20 meeting will be about 975 Euros per person: this covers the registration=20 fee, transportation from and to Brussels airport or Li=E8ge railway=20 station (on the designated arrival and departure days), accommodation=20 and meals (including conference dinner and drinks with meals), social=20 activities and an excursion (excluding dinner on the excursion day).=20 Unfortunately, the organizers do not have funds available to provide any=20 financial 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=20 end of September 2006. It is expected that invitations will be sent out=20 early in November 2006. Those invited will be sent formal letters of=20 invitation to assist them in obtaining funding, and will also be=20 provided with a reading list of material which may be assumed in the=20 Summer School lectures.
