The two main objectives of this workshop are to put into focus rapid recent developments in the higher dimensional minimal model program (HD MMP), and to consolidate advances in the geometry of Fano and Calabi-Yau 3-folds that have arisen over the last decade. In addition, the workshop will help plan how to exploit new results, methods and problems arising from these developments.
Numbers will be limited to a maximum of 35, there will be a contribution to local costs (including accommodation and subsistence) from awards to ICMS and a Registration Fee of £30 will be payable by all delegates.
Participation is by invitation only: those interested in attending should contact Ivan Cheltsov
