24-29 St. Giles'
Oxford OX1 3LB U.K.

 

The goal of this workshop is to bring together research communities working on realization of higher algebraic structures in number theory and topology as well as geometry and mathematical physics.

This event is a satellite of the Grothendieck-Teichmüller Groups, Deformations and Operads program taking place at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, U.K. between January and April 2013.

Registration is free, but to enable estimation of numbers participants are asked to register in advance. To register, please email admin@claymath.org

Limited accomodation is available and limited funding may be available for graduate students and early career researchers wishing to attend. Students requesting funding should do so through their supervisors. Requests for accommodation and support may be addressed to Naomi Kraker
