Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées

CIMPA-CUBA research school

Havana, August 29 - September 9, 2016

This CIMPA School will introduce participants to selected topics of Mathematics with direct applications in privacy and security issues. The presentations will include the necessary background in order to understand the main concepts, as well as many motivating examples of the application of these topics to particular security and privacy issues, together with open problems in the corresponding areas. The aim is to motivate a group of bright students to continue working in those areas at the doctoral or postdoctoral level. The school will conclude with presentations by researchers and students.

The School will take place at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Havana. Founded in 1728, the University of Havana is the oldest and most important university in Cuba. The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science has broad experience in the organization of international events, including other CIMPA research schools.
