A Conference in honor of the 70th birthday of Endre Szemerédi

It is hard to believe but Endre Szemerédi is turning 70 in 2010. The Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics and the János Bolyai Mathematical Society are organizing a conference in the summer of 2010 to celebrate this occasion. The conference will be held August 2-9, 2010 Budapest. It is well separated from the International Congress of Mathematicians to be held August 19-27 in Hyderabad, India.

There will be only invited talks by outstanding mathematicians who will create a scientific program on a par with Endre’s research achievements. Invited speakers who have accepted our invitation include (* denotes a tentative speaker):

• Miklós Ajtai
