There will be a one-day workshop, held at McGill University, Mathematics Department, on 18 June 2009, in conjunction with the Makkaifest being held at CRM, 19-20 June 2009, with an initial reception at the CRM on 18 June.
This workshop is intended for the participants of the Makkaifest. It will begin after 9am, in room BURN 1B36 (Burnside Hall), McGill University, and will finish around 5pm, so there will be time to get to the reception at CRM at 6pm. The schedule of talks is given below. Information about the weather and maps of the area (showing Burnside Hall) are given below the schedule.
The workshop will be an informal affair - there will be no registration, and it is not officially part of the Makkaifest at the CRM. However, the themes of the workshop are those of the Makkaifest itself, and reflect interests shown by Michael Makkai over his career.
If you are interested in attending the official Makkaifest, 19-20 June, please register. If you plan to attend the dinner on the 19th, be sure one of us (Phil or Robert) knows, so we can inform the restaurant of the correct number of attendees.
