Special Year in Geometric Integration
Oslo, August 2002 -- June 2003
SUMMER SCHOOL IN GEOMETRIC INTEGRATION
AUGUST 19-23, 2002, Fevik (Arendal), Norway
As a first event of the Special Year on Geometric Integration in Oslo,
2002-2003, a summer school has been organized. The summer school
commemorated the 200 anniversary of the birth of Niels Henrik Abel and
took place in the south of
Norway. Abel was actually born on August 5, 1802 and he spent the last days
of his short life in Frolands Verk (twenty minutes driving form Fevik).
PhD students, postdocs but also well established

This summer school is one of the activities for the celebration of Niels Henrik Abel Bicentennial, during the year 2002.
Format.
Lectures in 4 different topics lasting over a week
Contact/Registration.
Inquiries can be directed to Elena Celledoni,
