                    CONFERENCE IN NUMBER THEORY 
                    to be held at  
                    Carleton University, Ottawa
                  Organizers:

            OVERVIEW
            The main focus of the conference is to learn of the latest 
              developments in the area. The goal of the conference is to bring 
              together top researchers in number theory from Canada and abroad 
              in order to foster collaboration and to expose students to important 
              problems in this growing field. We expect that this conference will 
              establish and strengthen research ties among researchers in number 
              theory.  
            FORMAT 
             
              The tentative program is to have 12 speakers each give a one-hour 
                lecture. The lectures will be of a survey nature offering a state-of-the 
                art view of important topics in the field and related areas of 
                mathematics with applications to cryptography. The emphasis will 
                be placed on highlighting the main techniques in a given area 
                as well as outlining some of the important open problems in the 
                area. Each afternoon discussion period on these open problems 
                and/or contributed papers session will take place. The aim is 
                to expose and engage graduate students and established researchers 
                in active research to try to solve some of the proposed open problems.

            TRAVEL SUPPORT
            Some financial support is available for graduate students wishing 
              to attend the conference. A graduate student wishing to apply for 
              funding should do so online at the time of registering (online application 
              open shortly). . The application should include a proposed budget 
              of expenses. A letter of support from his/her graduate supervisor 
              should be sent by email to salaca(at)math.carleton.ca. Applications 
              will be considered in the order they are received up to May 31, 
              2011.
