Mid-Project Symposium

The Centre held a mid-project symposium from 15-17 June 2010 in the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences building, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh. The speakers were members of our Scientific Steering Committee, the lecturers appointed as part of the project and others associated with the project.

Some of the speakers and participants Left to Right standing: Aram Karakhanyan, Sergei Kuksin, Nicholas Michalowski, Andrey Rekalo, Daniel Coutand, Craig Evans, Patrick Gerard. Left to Right kneeling: Pieter Blue, David Rule, Carlos Kenig
