The aim of the Iberoamerican Congresses on Geometry is to congregate mathematicians
of the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and the Americas, around their common theme.
The tradition started in Chile, back in 1998, when the
I Iberoamerican Congress on Geometry
was organized in Olmué, January 5–11. There followed three other versions, one organized
in Guanajuato, Mexico, January 4–9, 2001, the next one in Salamanca, Spain, June
8–12, 2004, and the following one in Ouro Preto, Brazil, August 12–18, 2007.
The fifth version of the event will take place in Pucón, Chile, on December 10–13, 2010.
On this occasion the main themes will be Riemann surfaces, Algebraic surfaces,
Abelian varieties and Theta functions, Kleinian groups, Moduli problems, Higher
dimensional Algebraic Geometry, and Teichmüller theory.
