Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic of Curves

This school will present various aspects of the theory of algebraic curves, as a way of introducing students, as well as researchers not specializing in these fields, to the areas of algebraic geometry and arithmetic geometry. A related goal is to assemble a regional network of mathematicians working in algebra, number theory, and algebraic geometry. The school also aims to promote collaboration between mathematicians from the region and research teams in Europe, both on the level of joint research projects and in shared advising (co-advising) of thesis students. The school will help students from the region complete their mathematical training, with the goal of eventually entering a doctoral program, while at the same time making contact with potential thesis advisors or co-advisors.
