In the last few years we have seen tremendous progress on various aspects of the classical problem of constructing and classifying special manifolds in terms of holonomy and curvature. We would like to start a joint "working" seminar to better understand and to attack together some open problems of common interest. Our idea is to have a weekly meeting for a couple of hours each, starting on Tuesday 4 March at 11:00 at ICTP (but this can be adjusted to a different timing depending on who is interested of course).

We would like to have our first meeting meeting on Tuesday 4 March, at 11:00 in the Luigi Stasi Seminar Room for a general introduction by Bobby on few open problems we could be investigating together.
