Aim:
In this workshop, we invite about 30 young researchers who study "Lattice Polytopes" from European and American countries for at most 4 weeks to Department of Pure and Applied Mathematics of Osaka University and promote free exchange of their research information.

Location:
Department of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Graduate school of information Science and Technology, Osaka University

The department is situated in Suita campas of Osaka University

School:
We organize a School where each of two speakers will give five 90-minute expository lectures for graduate students.

Teachers:
Johannes Hofscheier (McMaster University, Canada), Toric geometry with a view towards lattice polytopes
Katharina Jochemko (KTH Royal Institute of Techonolgy, Sweden), Valuations on lattice polytopes

Date: July 23 - 27, 2018
Venue: C201


Conference:
We organize a Conference entitled:

Algebraic and Geometric Combinatorics on Lattice Polytopes

Date: July 30 - August 3, 2018
Venue: C201

Discussion week:
There is no official event in the last week(August 6 -- 10). We can hold freely seminars and open problem sessions and so on.

Organizer:
Takayuki Hibi (Osaka University)
Akiyoshi Tsuchiya (Osaka University)

Funding for the workshop is provided by the project
