European Autumn School in Topology 2016
This autumn school will take place during the week September 19-23, 2016 in a conference center in the woods close to Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Aims and Scope
The idea of this autumn school is to bring together a group of about 25 participants in a remote place in order to learn about advanced topics in Algebraic Topology. The talks are meant to be accessible to first or second year PhD students.
