This workshop introduces graduate students and other scientists to the exciting area of Operator Algebras. It will feature three series of introductory lectures and a number of one-hour lectures on recent research topics followed by informal discussions.

The main lecture series will be:
Richard V. Kadison: The Theory of Operator Algebras - A Survey
Mihai Pimsner: Introduction to K-theory for Operator Algebras
Antony Wassermann/Valerio Toledano Laredo: Operator Algebras and Conformal Field Theory

In addition, Fields Medalist Vaughan Jones will present several introductory lectures.
