Each summer since 1996, algebraic geometers and algebraists in Norway have organised a summer school in Nordfjordeid, a small place in the western part of Norway. In addition to the beauty of the place, located between the mountains, close to the fjord and not far from the Norway's largest glacier,a reason for going there is that Sophus Lie was born and spent his few first years in Nordfjordeid, so it has a flavour of both the exotic and pilgrimage.It is also convenient: the municipality of Eid has created a conference centre named after Sophus Lie, aimed at attracting activities to fill the summer term of the local boarding school.
