This
program will include three weeks of short courses intended primarily
for graduate students and postdocs, with participatory seminars
as well, followed by a week-long meeting which would in part be
a celebration of the 75th birthday of Marc
Rieffel of the University of California, Berkeley, who has
been one of the most influential mathematicians in the world in
the area of noncommutative geometry and quantum groups.

Program Visitors
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community.
Additional support is available (thanks to NSF) to support junior
US visitors to this program. Participants in this category should
be sure to use US-flag carriers if traveling by air and to contact
Jonathan Rosenberg for further details.
Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical
sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities.
Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge
the community, and to encourage the participation of women and
members of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
