The workshop is intended to be an informal exchange of ideas on the general area between of 3-manifold invariants, quantum invariants, finite type invariants and topological quantum field theories. Graduate students are most welcome to attend. Please contact Ruth Lawrence ruthel@math.huji.ac.il or Dror Bar-Natan drorbn@math.huji.ac.il for further information.
