LSE Week 2012 announcement

Last year we introduced the idea of doing a yearly week of talks to show the work we are doing here at the LSE, and also to introduce concepts we have been working on, or concepts we have encountered. As it was quite a success, we decided to go on with the idea. This year, we have reserved 5 days, from Monday, 16th of July to Friday, 20th July. We have 15 talks scheduled which amounts for 14 hours. One thing though is that these talks are going to be in french, however slides will be in english. Recordings should be available soon after the event. More informations (in french, including a full abstract of each talk) are available on this page. We are also putting a small crackme online (available here) for people who want some challenge.
