Outline of Scientific Activities
Main Directions of Research
The aim of the thematic program is to assemble leading experts
in the fields of Galois representations, automorphic forms, and
related subjects, with the goals of communicating recent discoveries
to various audiences, including graduate students and beginning
investigators, experts from other fields, and experts in their
own fields; and of promoting further progress in these fields
through fostering interaction and collaboration among experts.
These aims will be achieved through a combination of graduate
courses, short lecture series, research seminars, and workshops.

Postdoctoral fellowship
applications
We will support a number of Fields postdocs for the duration of
the program, as well as offer support towards a visitors' program,
including visiting Ph.D. students
Program Participants requesting support
or office space
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community.
Visitors who are interested in office space or funding are
requested to apply by filling out the application
