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.
