National Centre for Science and Technology Events


Recently (October 2007) the Georgian - German Algebra and Topology Partner Group has been formed at the National Centre for Science and Technology, Tbilisi, Georgia, consisting of Georgian and German experts in the field. This Partner Group aims to contribute to the futher successful development of mathematics in Georgia. Its members will work on joint research projects and will organize special seminars and conferences devoted to modern topics of algebra and topology.

A workshop on "Homotopy Theory" is organized at the University of Copenhagen by Erik Pedersen (USA) and Hvedri Inassaridze (Georgia) (25 September - 1 October 2006) and supported by GRDF.

National Centre for Science and Technology and INTAS network 3251 organizes an international conference Homology Theories, K-theory and Homotopy Theory in Tbilisi, 28 May - 2 June 2007. The scientific committee consists of Hvedri Inassaridze (Tbilisi), Lionel Schwartz (Paris), Ryszard Nest (Copenhagen), Max Karoubi (Paris), Andrew Baker (Glasgow), Joachim Cuntz (Münster), Stewart Priddy (Northwestern), Erik Pedersen (Binghamton), Ivan Panin (St. Petersburg), Teimuraz Pirashvili (Leicester).

The International electronic journal in mathematics Journal of Homotopy and Related Structures will publish a special volume dedicated to the memory of Saunders Mac Lane. The submission deadline is the end of August 2006. The Editors are Peter Freyd, Michael Barr, Ronald Brown and George Janelidze.
