Poisson 2006
Poisson Geometry in Mathematics and Physics
Tokyo, June 5 - 9, 2006

School on Poisson geometry and related topics
Keio University, Hiyoshi Campus, Yokohama
May 31 - June 2, 2006
A School will be held at the Symposium Space of the Raiosha building at Keio University (Hiyoshi Campus) the week preceding Poisson 2006. The school is mainly intended to provide survey talks to students and postdocs.
