  <h1 class="page-heading" id="what">What is it?</h1>

  <p>This will be a workshop in Algebraic Geometry.

  <p>The participants who apply and are accepted will be graduate students, post-docs, or even senior researchers. Roughly the idea is that they
    will learn about and work on a single topic in a small group together with a mentor for a week with the aim of producing a text that will
    be considered for inclusion in the <a href="http://stacks.math.columbia.edu">Stacks&nbsp;project</a>. Part of this process will be
    seeing how one builds new theory from the foundations.

  <p>There will also be some talks each day covering advanced topics in algebraic geometry.
    Mathematicians not in the groups are welcome to come to these talks, but please register
    <a href="https://goo.gl/forms/MHjRjoAFqigmh8ff2">here</a>.

  <p>The Stacks project workshop will have some optional activities you won't see at other workshops. Adding references to and finding mistakes in the Stacks project (and fixing them) as well as activities related to the use of LaTeX, <a href="http://git-scm.com">Git</a>, and <a href="http://github.org">GitHub</a>. Overall these will be aimed at helping you contribute efficiently to the Stacks project.

  <p>For those who are interested, we will also discuss how it is possible to contribute to the <em>software</em> that runs the Stacks&nbsp;project.

  <h1 class="page-heading">Date and location</h1>

  <p>The workshop will be at the <a href="http://www.umich.edu">University of Michigan</a> in <strong>Ann Arbor</strong>, from <strong>July 31 to August 4, 2017</strong>.
