Italy is the place to be for young and old dynamicists this coming June 2017. Three amazing events one after the other in Rome, Pisa and Trieste.

5-9 June, Fifth Workshop of the DinAmicI, Rome https://dinamici5.dm.unibo.it/

12-16 June, School on Hyperbolic Dynamics, Pisa  https://crm.sns.it/event/410/

19-23 June, Workshop on Hyperbolic Dynamics, Trieste https://indico.ictp.it/event/7970/

Further details below and on the websites. Please distribute this to anyone interested.

****************************************************

The Fifth Workshop of the DinAmicI (https://www.dinamici.org) will take place in Rome from the 5th to the 9th of June 2017 and will be sponsored and hosted by INdAM (the Italian National Institute for Advanced Mathematics).

The Department of Mathematics at University of Houston will host the fifth annual Houston Summer School on Dynamical Systems from May 17-25, 2017.

As in past years, the school is designed for graduate students; however, this year there will also be an opportunity for undergraduate students to participate, arriving two days early and then staying for the main event.

The following short courses are planned:

• Statistical properties in hyperbolic dynamics (Vaughn Climenhaga, Will Ott, Andrew Török - University of Houston)
• Partially hyperbolic dynamics (Todd Fisher - Brigham Young University)
• Dynamical methods in Diophantine approximation (Alan Haynes - University of Houston)
• Dynamics of group actions on homogeneous spaces (Anish Ghosh - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research)
• Linearly recurrent systems (Valérie Berthé - Univ. Paris Diderot)

The Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas (ICMAT-Institute of Mathematical Sciences) offers postdoctoral appointments for researchers in Mathematics with an excellent curriculum who wish to pursue their research career at the ICMAT.

Deadline March 1, 2017
