The Nordfjordeid Summer School, on “Homological aspects of commutative algebra”, will be held 12-16 June, 2017, at the Sophus Lie Conference Center, in Nordfjordeid, Norway.
The theme of the summer school is homological commutative algebra. The three lecture series will focus on recent progress on the so-called homological conjectures, and topics include free resolutions, combinatorial commutative algebra, Stillman’s question and the Eisenbud-Goto conjecture. The summer school will be aimed at phd students and advanced master students.
Invited speakers:

• Gunnar Fløystad (University of Bergen)
• Graham Leuschke (Syracuse University)
• Jason McCullough (Rider University)
