Goals

 

One advanced course will present the fundaments of foliation theory, and the other advanced courses will introduce some of its most active areas, 

like dynamics of foliations, classifying spaces, index theory for foliations and group actions, or rigidity and leafwise cohomology. 

These courses should provide the audience with the necessary tools to work on some of the most important unsolved problems on foliation theory.
