[ALGTOP-L] Advanced Course on Simplicial Methods in Higher Categories

[Joachim Kock]

This is the second announcement of the

		    Advanced Course on
	 Simplicial Methods in Higher Categories

		  February 4 to 14, 2008
	       Centre de Recerca Matemàtica
		  Bellaterra (Barcelona)

an event within the CRM thematic year on Homotopy Theory and
Higher Categories http://www.crm.cat/hocat/

The Advanced Course consists of three lecture series:

 -- André Joyal (UQAM, Montréal)
    "The theory of quasi-categories and its applications"

 -- Ieke Moerdijk (Utrecht)
    "Dendroidal sets"

 -- Bertrand Toën (Toulouse)
    "Simplicial presheaves and derived geometries"

In the preceding week (28/1--1/2), two preparatory mini-courses
are planned:  Myles Tierney: "Simplicial homotopy theory", and
Mathieu Anel: "The functor-of-points approach to geometry, and 
stacks".

The CRM offers a limited number of grants covering accommodation
for young researchers.  The deadline for application is October 31,
2007.  Otherwise the deadline for registration is December 14.
