School and Conference on Noncommutative Geometry
Villa de Leyva, Colombia, June 20 to July 1, 2016
Noncommutative Geometry is a growing and active field whose roots and branches intertwine with various areas of mathematics and physics. The school and conference on Noncommutative Geometry, Noncommutative Geometry 2016, aims at introducing advanced students and young researchers to various results and techniques from noncommutative geometry giving special attention to those which play a key role in applications. The lectures will focus on some of the main themes lying at the core of the current developments of the theory while the mini courses will provide both background and context for those themes.
