Система компьютерной алгебры GAP: FIRST ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF MATHEMATICIANS OF GEORGIA



FIRST ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF MATHEMATICIANS OF GEORGIA

First Announcement

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to confirm that September 12 to 19, 2010 Georgian Mathematical Union
organizes the First Annual Conference in Batumi, a Black sea resort of Georgia, the capital of
autonomous republic Adjara. For the information about the city see:

http://www.world66.com/europe/georgia/batumi

The Conference will be held in the modern and beautiful building of Batumi State
University, restored recently.

The Conference will be compiled of Workshops, Sessions, Seminars and Schools. The exact
program will be announced after the deadline of organizing Workshops, Session and Schools
will expire (see below). Today we can only confirm that Workshops on
* Algebraic topology
* Function Theory
* Mechanics of Continua
* Partial Differential Equations and Applications
* Numerical analysis and mathematical modeling.
will definitely be included.

We have applied for a financial support (grants for travel and local costs) to the
governmental and private foundations, but can not be confident in success. In any case,
participants should cover conference fee, 120 Euro, and conference dinner. It would be possible
to cover local costs for a part of participants.

There are many different hotels in Batumi and surrounding, including 5 star ``Sheraton'' and
4 Star ``Intourist'' (prices 150-300 USD room/night). You can find in Batumi much cheaper but
still comfortable hotels. We are negotiating with different hotels in the city and suburbs and
hope to get essential discounts. The precise list of hotels and discounts will be available soon
and distributed with the second announcement.

Batumi can be reached both from Tbilisi and from Istanbul (daily flights in Summer). The
airport is very close to the city. Batumi is about 350 km west from Tbilisi, about 6-7 hours by
train or a car.

Visa affair is the easiest part of the travel. Most of you do not need a visa for Georgia at all
(citizens of EU countries, USA, Japan, Israel, Turkey, Canada, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova
etc.). All remainders (including citizens of Russia) can apply for visa and obtain it while crossing
the border of Georgia at official checkpoints, including all airports of Georgia.
The program will include excursions in the beautiful surroundings of Batumi. You can visit
museums, ancient churches and castles.

It is worth mentioning that Batumi is the most rapidly developing city in Georgia and had
changed dramatically during the past 5-6 years. Weather at that time is very warm (the ``velvet''
season) and it is a great pleasure to swim in the Black sea.

You are welcome to pre-register for the conference sending an e-mail on the following
addresses GeorgianMU@gmail.com or to GMU@rmi.acnet.ge with the following information:
1. Name,
2. Affiliation,
3. e-mail, Telephone, Fax,
