Description
 
For the school 24 - 28 August
 
 
For the workshop 31 August - 4 September


The last few years have witnessed many crucial advancements in the understanding of geometry of spaces with tools coming from Analysis and PDEs. In the first week some of the leaders in these developments will give mini courses on classical and new results on Curvature and Topology, Kähler Geometry, Analytic Minimal Model Program and Curvature flows. In the second week experts will present and discuss some of the most recent results in Geometric Analysis. The two-week event is co-organized with Nanjing University, Peking University and the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei. The program will include thematic discussion sessions to help strengthen and/or establish new scientific collaborations.
