Microsoft School on Data Structures and Algorithms

In August 2010, the Microsoft School on Data Structures and Algorithms will be held in St. Petersburg. Senior students, graduate students and young scientists interested in data structures and algorithms can take part in the school. The school is mainly aimed at Russian participants, but residents of other countries who do not need a visa to enter Russia can also apply for participation. The working language of the school is English, however some reports will be in Russian, therefore participants must be fluent in both languages.
