FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

About the Conference

The objective of the conference is to stimulate the exchange of new
ideas in various fields of foliations. Any field of foliation theory
will be treated in Geometry and Foliations 2013 (GF2013), with special
emphasis on new directions of research for future development. The
topics include: foliations and groups of homeo-/diffeomorphisms,
homotopy theory and h-principles of foliations, foliations and
symplectic/contact structures, holomorphic foliations, characteristic
classes, discrete group actions, foliations and low dimensional topology.

The organizing committee would like to invite leading researchers on
these topics. Young researchers are encouraged to take part in the
conference: poster sessions and a limited number of contributed talks
are planned.

Travel information

The conference is hosted by the University of Tokyo. The most convenient
airport to fly to is the Haneda International airport. However, you will
find mostly flights to the Narita International airport, from which you
can come to the city center by `Narita express' (carried by JR-East),
`Sky linear' (by Keisei lines) or `Airport Limousin' buses (carried by
Airport Transport Service). More detailed information will be found on
the web page of GF2013 (http://gf2013.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/). Additional
information can be found on the Web pages of:

The University of Tokyo  http://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/

Since funding for GF2013 will be limited, it may be difficult to support
your international travel expenses, and therefore we would like to ask
you to find your own source for travel to and from Japan. We shall try
our best to find funds for partially supporting the living expenses for
participants.
