MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and its equivalent in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc.), a series of roughly biennial conferences on computational and application aspects of Algebraic Geometry and related topics with very high standards. Previous meetings were held in 1990 (Castiglioncello, Italy), 1992 (Nice, France), 1994 (Santander, Spain), 1996 (Eindhoven, Nederlands), 1998 (St. Malo, France), 2000 (Bath, United Kingdom), 2003 (Kaiserslautern, Germany),  2005 (Porto Conte, Italy), 2007 (Strobl, Austria), and 2009 (Barcelona, Spain). As in previous conferences, we plan to publish selected papers from the conference in a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation.

Proceedings containing a selection of the papers and invited talks presented at previous Mega conferences have been published by Birkhäuser in the series Progress in Mathematics, by the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, and the three last editions by the Journal of Symbolic Computation.
