Higher Structures in China III
From CRCG-Wiki
Recently, higher categories have appeared in many aspects of mathematics. Higher Structures in China is a series of conferences aimed at bringing together international and Chinese mathematicians in various intersecting areas of research to facilitate the exchange ideas and further the development of applications of higher structures in their respective fields.
This is the third conference of the series, and it will be held at the Mathematics School & Institute of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin Province, from August 13-19, 2012. The first and the second conference Higher Structures in China, Higher Structures in China II were held in October 2010 and August 2011, respectively.
The program will include mini-courses and expository and research talks by participants. We hope to also provide ample opportunities for participants to interact informally to explore common interests and to generate ideas for future collaboration. (Click here for more pictures).

Registration
The deadline for registration is 'May 1st, 2012'.
If you wish to register for Higher Structures in China III, please contact Yunhe Sheng at ysheng888(at)gmail.com.
At this point we are no longer accepting proposals for talks and mini-courses.
All local expenses for speakers (these include: meals, lodging, the conference excursion) will be covered by Jilin University.
Sponsors
Higher Structures in China III is sponsored by the Mathematics School & Institute of Jilin University, Changchun, China and the Courant Research Center, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.
Accommodation
All participants will be housed in Jun Yi Hotel, situated at 811 Xiuzheng Road, near the intersection of Qianjin Street and Xiuzheng Road (see it on Google maps).
A room will be booked for you once you've registered.
Getting to Changchun
The city of Changchun is the capital of Jilin Province.
- By air: The Changchun Longjia International Airport is 31 km from the downtown.
- By train: The main train station, the Changchun Railway Station, is located in the city center and has lines connecting Changchun with most major cities in China. If you are planning to travel by train to/from Changchun, you may wish to consult with Yunhe Sheng, as booking train tickets in China may be a bit complicated for the uninitiated.
