The school will take place at the University of Turin , on July 5-8, 2017 .
There will be three courses on current research topics in Deformation Theory held by experts of the field. Besides each course there will be a main talk to present recent results linked to the topics of the course. The aim of the school is also to encourage new collaborations and strengthen the old ones. Informal discussions will be strongly encouraged and specific time slots will be reserved for questions on the content of the courses and investigation of problems formulated by the audience itself. Moreover on Saturday there might be talks of young participants on related topics, that will be organised during the school. The school is aimed at PhD students, advanced master students and postdocs.
