The purpose of this school is to allow young researchers to acquire the main notions of symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology, and to access the recent developments in these domains. The program of the school will make a wide part for the various aspects of the interactions between symplectic geometry, contact topology on one hand, and knot theory, topology of low-dimensional manifolds on the other hand, in particular Floer homology and its derivatives.
The school, which is part of the program of the Groupement pour le Développement de la Topologie et de la Géométrie au Maghreb , recently established in network " RIAMI ", also addresses the experimented researchers, in particular from Maghreb. It aims at putting them in grip with the international current actuality, and to arouse new scientific cooperations between geometers and topologists.
