The school aims to bring participants acquainted with the latest advances in K-theory and Operator Algebras. I will consist of 2 parts; a preliminary set of 4 virtual courses, and second part, the school proper, consisting of 8 in-person courses on more advanced topics.
The preliminary virtual courses are intended to provide participants the necessary background. They will take place syncronically 2 weeks before the school begins, so participants will have a week to digest the material. Each of these courses will be three lectures long; the lectures will be recorded. The recordings, slides and any other course material will be made available to participants.
The actual school will consist of eight courses spread along 2 weeks, with the first week taking place in La Plata and the second in Buenos Aires. Each of the courses of the first week is thematically connected with one of the second, with the first course being introductory and the second more advanced. The structure of each course will consist of 3 lectures and one problem session. In addition there will be a "gong show" each week in which participants will be given the opportunity to very briefly explain their work. In addition there will be a round table concerning gender in the mathematical profession.
