[DMANET] Winter School on Lower Bounds and Communication Complexity (February 10-14 2020)

The Swiss Winter School on Lower Bounds and Communication Complexity (10-14
February 2020) is the first in a series of annual winter schools in
Theoretical Computer Science jointly organized by EPFL and ETH Zurich. The
goal of the school is to educate top international theory PhD students
about exciting recent developments in the field. The winter school will be
held in Zinal, a mountain village in the Swiss Alps that has a long
tradition of hosting academic workshops. This allows for nice excursions
and stimulating discussions in a relaxed atmosphere.

This year's installment features an exciting trinity of speakers: Kasper
Green Larsen (Data Structure Lower Bounds), Raghu Meka (Communication
Complexity) and Amir Shpilka (Algebraic complexity).

The application deadline is November 15th 2019, and acceptance
notifications will be sent by December 1st 2019. The application form is
available at https://theory.epfl.ch/WinterSchool2020/. Attendance of the
winter school is free of charge and includes room and board (shared rooms).


Organizers: Michael Kapralov (EPFL), Ola Svensson (EPFL), David Steurer
(ETHZ)
