Zapletal (AV ČR and Gainesville) Sponsors This conference will focus on the interactions between set theory and other parts of mathematics, from Banach spaces and C*-algebras to topological groups, sets of the reals, general topological spaces, and others. This includes both the advances concerning appropiate set-theoretic tools from forcing theory, Ramsey theory, descriptive set theory or other branches of set theory as well as concrete applications of these methods in the mathematical practice. Registration Registration is closed now. Grants for young researchers Applications for financial support and shared accomodation are closed now. Dates We expect the participants to show up on Saturday 7.07 afternoon. The talks will start on Sunday, July 8 and will last four days till Wednesday, July 11 evening. We expect that people would leave on Thursday, July 12 before noon. 6th European Congress of Mathematics The 6th European Congress of Mathematics will be held in Krakow in the days 2.07-7.07. Saharon Shelah is a plenary speaker at the Congress. Alexander Kechris and Stevo Todorcevic are invited speakers. All participants of Trends in Set Theory are encouraged to participate in the Congress. They will have train tickets (second class) from Krakow to Warsaw reimbursed by the conference.

The main conference room has capacity of 100 people. This is the upper bound for the size of the conference. Accomodation Due to funding rules most of the Non-European Union invited speakers will stay at the guest apartments of the Mathematical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences at the site of the conference. For the remaining main speakers and most of the participants we have made a group reservation at MDM hotel which is located about 200 meters from the conference site. Supported graduate students and young researchers will stay in the hotel of the Recreaction and Sport Center located about 400 meters from the conference site.
