FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

INGO2003
Invariant Theory and its Interactions with Related Fields

March 23-29, 2003, Goettingen, Germany

INGO2003 is an initiative of research groups in Aberdeen, Manchester, and
Goettingen working in the areas of algebraic topology, representation theory,
and commutative algebra, who have found that communication across narrow
specialty boundaries can bring huge scientific benefits. The conference is
organized around the central theme of invariant theory and will emphasize its
interactions with other areas of mathematics. It is particularly addressed to
young (European) mathematicians from diverse research areas who wish to
exchange ideas, and learn new techniques that may point the way for their
future work.

The conference is supported by the DFG (German Research Foundation).

More information concerning the programme, financial support etc. will
soon be availabe on the conference web site at
www.ingo2003.de.
