Goals

This conference will be devoted to the study of foliations in all of its aspects (geometrical, topological, dynamics, analytic, etc.), as well as its connections with other theories in topology, geometry, dynamics and global analysis. For instance, this includes generalizations of foliation problems to the case of non-integrable systems (contact and symplectic structures, confoliations, Engel and Goursat structures and so on), and also group (and pseudogroup) actions on manifolds. This conference will be a continuation of a series of big conferences on foliations organized almost every year; the last ones were in Lodz (Poland, 2005), Río de Janeiro (2007), Krakow and Santiago de Compostela (2008). All specialists on foliations and related subjects are welcome.
