Dedicated to Alberto Conte on his 70th birthday
Torino, 21-23 March 2012


The Conference will survey the topics, both classical and modern, which make up the main part of the scientific interests and work of Alberto Conte.
Among the participants there will be friends, students and collaborators who shared with Alberto commitment, efforts and enthusiasm during his many years of work in favour of Mathematics, University and Culture in Italy and in the world.
The Conference is organized within the Reasearch Projects of National Interest to which Alberto contributes, and contributed, having been one of their main founders and active organizers.
