Programme
MODNET Summer School
Manchester, 14-18th July 2008
A meeting of the research training network in Model Theory MODNET
MODNET is an FP6 Marie Curie Research Training Network in Model Theory and its Applications, funded by the European Commission under contract number MRTN-CT-2004-512234
There will be two courses,
Finite Model Theory (A. Dawar)
Groups of Finite Morley Rank (J. Burdges),
each of
around 5-6 lectures and supported by tutorials,
plus
lectures by current and former MODNET research students and
postdoctoral fellows and others.
For the course in Finite Model Theory, participants might find it useful to look at the slides of Dawar's introductory talks from an earlier MODNET workshop.
