Computability and Complexity Symposium 2017

(in honour of Rod Downey's 60th birthday)

In 2017, Victoria University of Wellington will be hosting a Computability and Complexity Symposium. These areas have seen significant development in recent years. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together a wide cross-section of researchers in the area, from leading researchers to graduate students, to discuss these developments and future directions.

The symposium will take place between the 5th and 8th of January 2017 at the town of Raumati, a short drive from Wellington.

Registration is now open. Please register as soon as possible by emailing Adam Day or Noam Greenberg. We have made a block booking of accommodation. This will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to those that register. When registering please let us know if you would like us to arrange accommodation for you.

Following the Computability and Complexity Symposium, is the New Zealand Mathematical Research Institute Summer School in Napier.
