We are pleased to inform you that Jürgen Jost (Max Plank Institute, Leipzig) and Christian Leonard (Paris Ouest University) will give 10 hours lectures (each) on Discrete Ricci curvature. The aim is to bring researchers from different communities (Geometry, Probability, Analysis) on the common topic of the Ricci curvature and its consequences.
