The Lectures are part of the Ph.D. program of the University. They are free to all interested students and researchers, and will run from 2.07.2008 to 1.08.2008, with three lectures per week of about 2 hours each.
Unfortunately, we do not have grants for students.
Please find below indications on how to reach the Dept. of Mathematics, the locations for the lectures and a list of Hotels.
