KUMUNU jr.

The first annual KUMUNU jr will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, April 21-22, 2012. Inspired by the success of the KUMUNU algebra conferences in the midwest, KUMUNU jr seeks to promote interaction of graduate students and post docs in the area of commutative algebra. This conference is a forum for students and post docs to share their ideas with others and to initiate collaboration. If you would like more information, please see the conference website or contact one of the organizers.
