Program:
The school is particularly aimed at students in algebraic geometry and
algebraic topology. It will consist of three lecture series and
exercise sessions.
The first series will give the necessary background
material from algebraic topology and model categories (Dundas). The
second
will provide the background from algebraic geometry (Levine). The third
lecture series (Voevodsky) will treat the motivic homotopy theory.
Time schedule for the program is given below.
Location:
The school will be held at Sophus Lie Conference Center in Nordfjordeid.
Nordfjordeid,
the birthplace of Sophus Lie, is a
small town in the fjords of the west coast of Norway, halfway between
Bergen and Trondheim.
The Conference Center is located at Fjordane Folkehøgskule, situated just
above Nordfjordeid, where the valley meets the fjord.
Local guides will advice the participants on hikes in the nearby mountains.
Arrival: Monday 12. August
Departure: Friday 16. or Saturday morning 17.
How to arrive: For detailed travel information consult the home page of the conference center at http://www.math.uio.no/nordfjordeid/nordfjord.html
The following are the main possibilities:
a) By Plane: The natural place to fly to is Sandane via
Oslo or Bergen.
This airport is only 5 km from Nordfjordeid,
and there is bus/taxi service from there.
b) By Bus: There is relatively good bus service between Oslo
and Nordfjordeid, and Bergen and Nordfjordeid, but it takes 9 and
6 hours respectively.
c) By Boat and Bus: There is also a good express boat service between
Bergen and Måløy, with bus connection between Måløy and
Nordfjordeid, it takes about 5 hours altogether.
Weather: The weather is fairly unstable at Nordfjordeid. From cold, rain and wind to sunny and warm. The temperature is seldom below 10 and go up to 25 if we are lucky. It is advisable to bring a sweater and a jacket.

Registration deadline is 1.6.2002
