            Description of the Program 
              This will be a research-intensive program aimed at close collaboration 
              between the participants. The focus will be on five main topics 
              : 
              i) The boundary rigidity problem. 
              ii) Anisotropic inverse problems, geometric convergence and spectral 
              geometry. 
              iii) Index theory and inverse problems; reconstruction of topological 
              or geometric invariants. 
              iv) Inverse problems on Lorentzian manifolds. 
              v) The geometric Whitney problem. 
            There will be a number of short courses aimed at attracting graduate 
              students and postdoctoral fellows and at helping define the research 
              questions to be investigated during the program. 
              We plan to have regularly scheduled seminars and informal working 
              groups organized around the main themes of the program.
