First Announcement

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to inform you that a school-type workshop on

will take place at This is a part of activities of ILFT (International Lattice Field Theory) Network, which is a research program sponsored by the Japan Society for Promotion of Science aiming at building and expanding a cooperative international framework in the lattice field theories among universities and research institutions in Japan, the US, Germany, Italy and the UK.

The workshop consists of lecture series and seminars:
L.Giusti
(CERN) 		Numerical simulation with the overlap fermion/ Lattice QCD with the domain decomposition algorithm
P.Hasenfratz
(Bern) 		Renormalization group and fixed point action
A.Kennedy
(Edinburgh) 		Algorithms in lattice QCD simulation
Y.Kikukawa
(Nagoya) 		Chiral fermions
G.Martinelli
(Rome) 		Phenomenology with lattice QCD
S.Sharpe
(Seattle) 		Chiral perturbation theory
S.Sint
(Madrid) 		Twisted mass lattice QCD
R.Sommer
(DESY) 		On-shell improvement and nonperturbative renormalization
Note that all the speakers are confirmed, while titles are tentative.

The lectures will be at an advanced level, not pedagogical.
We plan to publish the lecture notes in printed form.

All correspondence concerning the workshop should be directed to:
