Twenty-first century algebraic geometry is a broad subject, with mathematicians on different frontiers sharing little background.
This workshop will consist of colloquium-style talks introducing some of its subfields to people, particularly postdocs, working in other areas.

The workshop is part of the semester program on Algebraic Geometry, and some additional funding will be available for participants to attend the associated workshop "Introductory workshop: Classical algebraic geometry" January 26-30, 2009.

There will be a poster session on Friday afternoon to highlight the work of recent PhD recipients and advanced graduate students working in areas connected to algebraic geometry. Participants interested in presenting a poster should email a title and abstract to connections@msri2009.org.
