will prepare graduate students, 
            postdoctoral fellows and general members to a level where they can 
            participate fully in the program activities. The workshop speakers 
            include Charles Doran (Alberta), Mark Gross (San Diego), Klaus Hulek 
            (Hannover), Radu Laza (Stony Brook), Bernd Siebert (Hamburg), Johannes 
            Walcher (McGill), and Noriko Yui (Queen's) among others. Details of 
            the summer school will be posted on the thematic program webpage as 
            they become available.
            
Anyone who is interested in attending the summer school should 
              register online. Limited funding for local accommodation is available. 
              For travel expenses, participants are urged to seek funding from 
              their home institutions/countries.
