2017-2018 Warwick EPSRC Symposium on Geometry, Topology and Dynamics in Low Dimensions
Organisers: Brian BowditchLink opens in a new window, Chris LeiningerLink opens in a new window, Saul SchleimerLink opens in a new window, John SmillieLink opens in a new window and Karen VogtmannLink opens in a new window
The Warwick EPSRC mathematics symposium is organised annually by the University of Warwick with the support of the EPSRC for the benefit of the mathematical sciences community in the UK. It brings leading national and international experts together with UK researchers in a year-long programme of research activities focused on an emerging theme in the mathematical sciences.
From September 2017 to August 2018, the symposium will concentrate on the theme of ''Geometry, topology and dynamics in low dimensions''. It will feature a series of international workshops and host a number of long-term visitors.
The Warwick MRC is committed to the principles of openness and diversity in science.
