Report
The sponsor of this international workshop was the 21st century COE program "Constitution for wide-angle mathematical basis focused on knots" (whose program leader is Akio Kawauchi). As co-sponsors, Core Study Program of Osaka City University and Osaka City University Advanced Mathematical Institute(OCAMI) also supported this workshop.

The aim is to encourage graduate course students studying knot theory and related topics.

The number of participants was 76 (Japan 51, U.S.A. 13, Korea 3, India 2, Canada 2, Russia 2, Australia 1, China 1, France 1).

The workshop has begun with a speech of welcome by Dr. Satoru Kaneko, the president of Osaka City University.

There were 21 invited talks with 30 minutes for each talk. All speakers were graduate course students recommended by some international experts of this research area. As one can see from their abstracts of this website, the contents of their talks were in high levels, and I am convinced that speakers will have great successes in near future.

In this workshop, I would like to thank not only speakers, but also Dr. Daniel Silver, Dr. Susan Williams, Dr. Rama Mishra, Dr. Alexander Stoimenow, Dr. Yoav Rieck, who were temporary members of OCAMI, and Dr. Taizo Kenenobu and Dr. Tsukasa Yashiro. Without help of them, this workshop could not have succeeded.
