As part of the theme semester on Recent Advances in Combinatorics at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques F. Bergeron (UQAM), A. Geramita (Queen's), A. Knutson (Berkeley), R. Vakil (Stanford) and S. Faridi (Dalhousie) are organizing two events.

• A school on Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Combinatorics May 21-25, 2007.


• A workshop on Interactions between Algebraic Combinatorics and Algebraic Geometry May 28 - June 1, 2007.

NSF funding is available to support travel to the workshop and/or school for graduate students, postdocs, and junior researchers up to 5 years past the PhD. Genaral funding is also available. The deadline for funding applications is November 15. To apply, please follow the instructions that appear on the web page for the workshop under the heading "Financial Aid".
