FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
About the Conference
The objective of the conference is to stimulate the exchange of new ideas in various fields of foliations. Any field of foliation theory will be treated in Geometry and Foliations 2013 (GF2013), with special emphasis on new directions of research for future development. The topics include: foliations and groups of homeo-/diffeomorphisms, homotopy theory and h-principles of foliations, foliations and symplectic/contact structures, holomorphic foliations, characteristic classes, discrete group actions, foliations and low dimensional topology.
The organizing committee would like to invite leading researchers on these topics. Young researchers are encouraged to take part in the conference: poster sessions and a limited number of contributed talks are planned.

Travel information
The conference is hosted by the University of Tokyo. The most convenient airport to fly to is the Haneda International airport. However, you will find mostly flights to the Narita International airport, from which you can come to the city center by `Narita express' (carried by JR-East), `Sky linear' (by Keisei lines) or `Airport Limousin' buses (carried by Airport Transport Service). More detailed information will be found on the web page of GF2013 (http://gf2013.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/). Additional information can be found on the web pages of:
The University of Tokyo http://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/

Since funding for GF2013 will be limited, it may be difficult to support your international travel expenses, and therefore we would like to ask you to find your own source for travel to and from Japan. We shall try our best to find funds for partially supporting the living expenses for participants.
