This meeting is part of the activities of the Research Group on Orthogonal Polynomials, Special Functions and Operator Theory and Applications (OPSFOTA) based in the UK and Leuven (Belgium).
The inaugural meeting will take place at the University of Kent, on the 28th March 2018. The meeting is supported by a London Mathematical Society Joint Research Groups grant.
Speakers: Marjolein Leurs (Leuven), Sheehan Olver (Imperial), Alexander Pushnitski (KCL), Jani Virtanen (Reading) and Ian Wood (Kent).
Registration: There is no registration fee, but it would be helpful if you could register in advance by emailing Ana Loureiro (A.Loureiro@kent.ac.uk)

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Local travel information including
maps may be found
here.
A virtual tour of the University of Kent can be seen
here.
Train information may be obtained from here. The quickest train from London to Canterbury (West) takes 54 minutes from St Pancras International.
Funds are available to help with travel expenses of participants with limited sources of funding. We hope that this will encourage postgraduate students and postdocs to attend the meeting. Please email Ana Loureiro ( A.Loureiro@kent.ac.uk ) in advance if you would like to apply for support.
