Conference on "Homotopy theory and Lie groups" 
Aberdeen University (Scotland), 13-14 September, 2007 

The main object of this meeting is to survey new developments in homotopy
theory and its application to Lie groups and gauge theory. The meeting 
will
also be an opportunity to celebrate the contributions to homotopy theory 
of
Michael Crabb and John Hubbuck, both of whom retired in 2006. The meeting 
is
open to all mathematicians. We particularly encourage graduate students to
attend. 

Tentative list of speakers: Martin Cadek (Brno), Martin Crossley 
(Swansea),
Norio Iwase (Kyushu), Akira Kono (Kyoto), Brian Steer (Oxford), Stephen
Theriault (Aberdeen).
 
Organising team: Michael Weiss (Aberdeen) and Andrew Ranicki (Edinburgh).
