Upcoming courses
The summer school for 2020 has ended.
We are grateful to everyone who helped make the course a success: the speakers, the many students and postdocs who took part in the courses, and to BIRS, CRM, and PIMS for technical support.
We hope that the 2021 summer school in montreal and 2022 school in Vancouver will be able to take place as planned.
It remains possible that there will also be a 2021 edition of OOPS.
Until then, you can catch up on past courses, or get a commemorative t-shirt.
