The American Mathematical Society, the Clay Mathematics Institute, and the National Science Foundation will sponsor a three week Summer Institute in Algebraic Geometry at the University of Washington, Seattle from July 25 to August 12, 2005. The goals of the Institute are to review the major achievements of the past decade and to look forward to future developments. The focus will be structured by week:

	7/25	-	7/29		Interactions with physics
	8/1	-	8/5		Classical geometry
	8/8	-	8/12		Arithmetic geometry

Plenary lecture series aimed at broad audiences will be scheduled in the morning. More specialized seminar sessions will take place in the afternoon.

Financial support, as always, will be limited. Participants are encouraged to seek travel funds from their home institutions or funding agencies.
