.:: International Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities


	The Event The International Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities is one of the key events for people working in singularity theory, algebraic geometry, bifurcation theory and related areas. It brings together world experts and young researchers to report on their recent achievements, to exchange ideas and to address trends of research in a highly stimulating environment. The workshop is a bi-annual event which started in 1990. The School on singularity theory began in 2012 and takes place a week before or after the Workshop. It consists of elementary and advanced courses conducted by specialists in various domains of singularity theory and is aimed primarily at post-graduate students and young researchers in the field. Real and Complex Singularity Days of Young Researchers is a satelitte meeting of the São Carlos workshop, whose first edition was in 2010. It is an opportunity for postgraduate students and young researchers to interact and present their results.


	The Singularity Group at ICMC-USP, São Carlos www.sing.icmc.usp.br The Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação (ICMC) of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) is dedicated to higher education and research in Mathematics and Computer Science. It is located in São Carlos, a city in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The singularity theory group at ICMC-USP was founded by Gilberto Loibel in the 70's and grew thanks to the enthusiasm and determination of his students, especially the late Luiz Antonio Favaro and of Maria Aparecida Soares Ruas. Today it counts on 11 permanent members of academic staff, 6 MSc students, 20 PhD students and 6 Post-docs. The group receives regular academic visits from mathematicians from within and outside Brazil.
