Meetings

Four regular, thematic Collaboration meetings are to be held annually, two in the US and two in the UK. One US meeting will take place at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics and will be scheduled to coordinate with the annual Collaboration presentation at the Simons Foundation. In addition, subgroup meetings, teleconferences, and meetings held in cooperation with other groups will be planned in response to research developments. The current calendar of meetings sponsored by the Collaboration is given below. (Dates are approximate until meetings are announced with web pages of their own.)
