A school devoted to Topological Data Analysis and Persistent Homology will take place from Monday, June 11 to Friday June 15, 2018, at the Hotel Bellavista in Levico Terme (Trento, Italy), in the framework of the scientific activity of CIRM-FBK (cirm.fbk.eu/).

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a new research area that has recently attracted the attention of various scientific communities, both from pure and applied mathematics. The aim of this school is to provide a gentle introduction to TDA, starting from scratch, providing concrete applications and getting to the state of the art. Lectures are given by some of the most recognized specialists in this field and are addressed to a broad audience, mixing PhD students and young Post-Docs with more experienced researchers from different disciplines, among which Algebraic Topology and Algebraic Geometry.

The final program consists of three mini-courses delivered by John Harer (Duke University), Steve Oudot (INRIA Saclay) and Christopher J. Tralie (Duke University).

For details we refer to the updated official webpage of the school, published at the link

Some funds to cover living expenses for young participants are available. The deadline for registration and application for financial support is April 30, 2018.

Looking forward to seeing you in Levico,

The organizers

Gilberto Bini and Claudio Fontanari
