Here is a brief preliminary blurb on the workshop.

Here is a Welcome page to get you started.

All Indian participants selected for this workshop will be reimbursed return travel fare as per Government rules for entitlement (IInd AC train fare for graduate students, air-fare for regular faculty, etc.) and all selected participants will be lodged (two to a room) in the IMSc guest house, and their board and lodging will be taken care of, by IMSc. (Except for people who have made specific requests to the contrary, board and lodging will be provided from Sunday 23/11 to Saturday 06/12.) November is the usual period of the monsoon that hits the east coast of India, so participants of the workshop would be well-advised to come equipped with an umbrella.

If you are coming to participate in the workshop, directions for getting to IMSc may be found here. If you are coming to IMSc for the first time, it may be a good idea to follow the above link to the page with directions for coming here from the airport or station, as may apply to you, and keep a print out of that page with you.
