The Scientific program will begin in the morning on Monday, June 24.
Particular areas of interest of the conference will be included:
General Topology, Geometric Topology, Homotopy Theory, Knot Theory, Set-Theoretic Topology, Set theory and Applications.
The conference will have several sessions; General/Set-theoretic Topology and Set Theory, Geometric Topology, Homotopy Theory and Knot Theory. The session of General and Set-Theoretic Topology will be dedicated to Professor Jun-iti Nagata on his 77th birthday. The scientific program of the conference will consist of several plenary lectures, invited talks and contributed talks. We encourage all participants to present contributed talks.
