New Perspectives on the classification
of Fano Manifolds

September 29 - October 3, 2014

The aim of the school is to bring together 20/30 young researchers in a cosy contest to show them both the new current ideas on the classification of Fano manifolds coming from the theory of mirror symmetry, and the present state of the theory of Fano varieties after the breakthrough work by Shigefumi Mori.

We have funds to cover the full board of about 20 young researchers and limited funds are available to cover partially travel expences.

Venue

The School will take place on September 29 - October 3, 2014 in Udine (Italy), at Palazzo Antonini-Mangilli-del Torso site of the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM), Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi, 18.
