(Promotion
of Research
in Algebraic
Geometry
for MAThematicians
in Isolated
Centres)
Second announcement
PRAGMATIC is a project, sponsored by INDAM, for stimulating research in
Algebraic
Geometry among young people, especially those living in isolated
centres or peripheral universities all over Europe. For this purpose, every
year, a group
of experts will suggest problems in some specific field and
will
give lectures and seminars and will have individual discussions with
the participants in order to try to attack and to solve these problems. At the end of all the
activities of
Pragmatic the results that the participants obtain could be reproduced
in a special issue of the journal Le
Matematiche.
In the period August 30th -
September 18th, 2010,
at Dipartimento
di
Matematica e Informatica of the University
of
Catania, a
new edition of this
school of research Pragmatic 2010 will be held.
Teachers:
Prof. Paltin
Ionescu
Bucharest University
Prof.
Jaroslaw Antoni Wisniewski
Warsaw University
Collaborator:
Dr. Luis Sola Condè
Universidad
Rey Juan Carlos - Madrid
Collaborator:
Dr. Josè Carlos Sierra
Instituto
de Ciencias Matematicas - Madrid
Theme
of research: Mori
theory in a variety of flavors
Pragmatic will accept about 15-20 young
participants and will support all the participants which are not able
to find support in their institutions.
This financial support
will be
awarded, essentially, to young researchers, say at the pre-postdoctoral
level, with preference given to those belonging to geographically
isolated locations. The support will cover lodging, boarding along all
period of Pragmatic, the cost of the fee and some travel expenses.
The Co-ordinator of Pragmatic is Prof. Alfio Ragusa
(University
of Catania). Other local organizers
are: Giuseppe
Zappalà, Salvatore
Giuffrida,
Renato Maggioni, Rosario
Strano.
People who wish to be
considered
either for participation and/or for financial support should fill out
the enclosed application
form, which
should be sent to the
following address:
The deadline for applications
is June
15th, 2010.
The Committee of Pragmatic will
decide about financial supports and admissions within June 2010 and will inform all the
applicants of the
outcome. Interested people who need more
information about Pragmatic can contact any member of the
local
committee, using the following E-mail addresses: ragusa, zappalag, sstrano,
maggioni, giuffrida (one of these)@dmi.unict.it
