The Second International Conference and Workshop on Valuation Theory is an
international meeting whose aim is to explore the connections among several
topics in algebra and geometry, which are connected through the notion of
valuation. It is a continuation, twelve years later, of the First International
Conference and Workshop on Valuation Theory which took place in
Saskatoon (Canada) in the summer of 1999.
Apart from the lectures of the invited speakers, there will be a few
specialized courses in these topics, mainly on the first week of the
conference. In addition, a small number of talks will be selected by the
Scientific Committee from the proposals made by the participants. Participants
are also invited to submit posters.

Structure and venue
The first week will take place from Monday 18th to Friday 22th July in Segovia.
On Saturday 23th there will be an excursion and the transfer from Segovia to the nearby town of El Escorial.
The second week will begin at El Escorial starting on Sunday 24th till Thursday 28th. On Friday 29th there will be no scheduled activities. Participants are expected to leave the residence on Friday 29th.
