Young Women in Topology

Young Women in Topology

Bochum (Germany)

Friday, July 6 to Sunday, July 8, 2012

This is the third meeting of our new series of weekend-long workshops aimed in particular at female Master students, PhD students and Postdocs in topology. The meeting will take place at the Beckmanns Hof, Ruhr University of Bochum.

The workshop will center around a series of three lectures by
Dr. Vesna Stojanoska (MIT) on Knowns and unknowns in the world of topological modular forms.
The lectures will be complemented by contributed talks and ample time for discussion. All talks will be open to the public.
