WAG07-08
2007-08 Warwick EPSRC symposium on Algebraic Geometry
Main organisers: Miles Reid, Alessio Corti (Imperial)
Co-organisers: Gavin Brown (Kent), Gavril Farkas (Austin Texas and Humboldt U Berlin),
Frank Schreyer (Saarbruecken), Samir Siksek (Warwick), Katrin Wendland (Augsburg) and many others
There have been 3 previous Warwick EPSRC symposia devoted to algebraic
geometry, in 1970-71
(led by David Mumford) and in 1982-83 and 1995-96
(led by me). WAG07-08 also follows the Nute
program
HDG02.
Parts of this website date back to the time of the grant application to
EPSRC. The dates, and even
the main events themselves are subject to alteration. Several of
the documents here are either preliminary

editing scrap. Please let me know if you notice anything that may be
