More details will be announced later this summer, but interested =20 people can start contacting me now. We intend to continue the PSSL =20 tradition of informality, and scheduling talks pertaining to any =20 aspect of category theory, with or without applications in natural =20 science, logic, computer science, or other branches of mathematics. The fast TGV-Est train line will be inaugurated in June, and the =20 Paris-Nancy trip will then take only 1h30m, with easy connections to =20 the two Paris airports. The city of Nancy is right on the Paris-=20 Munich train line, and also has good train connecftions with the =20 north (Luxembourg, Brussels and Frankfurt via Metz) and the south =20 (Lyon, Nice...). There is a local airport, 45 minutes away from =20 downtown by minibus shuttle, and there are also two relatively close =20 international airports, Luxembourg and Strasbourg, which often allow =20 you to do the airport-dowtown Nancy trip in less than 2h30m. Nancy is of considerable interest for the mathematical tourist, being =20= the birthplace of Henri Poincar=E9, and being intimately related to the =20= career of Nicolas Bourbaki. It has two historical old towns: the =20 medieval one, with the Renaissance palace of the Dukes of Lorraine, =20 and the classical one, with UNESCO World heritage sites built by Duke =20= Stanislas. It is can also boast one of the highest concentrations of =20 Art Nouveau architecture in all of Europe, rivalling Prague and =20 Barcelona. Hoping to see you in September, Fran=E7ois Lamarche http://www.loria.fr/~lamarche
