Dear Colleague,

The Oslo Mathematics Doctoral Training Site (OMATS) is a Marie Curie
training site funded by the European Union, located in the Mathematics
department at the University of Oslo in Norway.

Doctoral students in the areas of algebraic geometry, operator algebras
or algebraic K-theory/geometric topology are invited to come to Oslo for
3 to 12 months, as a part of their doctoral studies.  Visiting students
will have a host advisor, and will receive a monthly scholarship of 1200
Euros plus travel money.

In Oslo they can participate in the training and research environment
surrounding the following 12 researchers forming the OMATS group:
J. Christophersen, G. Ellingsrud, A. Laudal, R. Piene, K. Ranestad,
A. Sletsjoe (in algebraic geometry), E. Alfsen, E. Bedos, O. Bratteli,
E. Stormer (in operator algebras), B. Jahren and J. Rognes (in algebraic
K-theory/geometric topology).

Students wishing to come in the fall of 2001 are asked to apply to
arnebs@math.uio.no before May 1st, 2001.  Applications for later stays
are also accepted.

We have prepared web pages with more information about academic
activities, how to apply, financial terms, etc., which can be found at

        http://www.math.uio.no/OMATS/index.html

Can you please distribute this message to those doctoral students that
you think might be interested in participating in this program, as well
as to your colleagues in the mathematical fields mentioned above ?

Sincerely yours,

The OMATS group
