Summer School on Geometric and Algebraic Combinatorics

June 17-28, 2019
Paris, France
http://gac-school.imj-prg.fr/

Submission deadline: March 27, 2019
Registration deadline: March 27, 2019

This two-week summer school will present an overview of a selection of topics in the crossroads between geometry, algebra, and combinatorics. It will consist of four one-week mini-courses given by leading experts, complemented with supervised exercise sessions, lectures by invited researchers, and research presentations by junior participants. The school is aimed at young researchers in geometric and algebraic combinatorics and related fields, although any interested researcher is welcome to participate. We expect the school to be an opportunity to bring together researchers from different backgrounds and foster new interactions. This school is part of the ongoing ANR project CAPPS.

The 3rd Winter School in Computer Science and Engineering on Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies

December 16-20, 2018
Jerusalem, Israel
http://ias.huji.ac.il/cse3

Registration deadline: November 30, 2018

Blockchain technology promises to revolutionize how modern society deals with trust. Although cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin dominate the media, the long-term impact of blockchain technology on society will extend far beyond today’s news cycles, transforming areas ranging from identity management, to non-currency financial instruments, supply chains and logistics, IOT security, and more.

The IIAS Winter School on Blockchains and cryptocurrencies brings together leading researchers in the field to cover the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of the field, as well as more practical engineering issues, with the goal of understanding both the opportunities and the hazards emerging from this area.
