Groups, Dynamics, and Operator Algebras Conference

Location: Glasgow, School of Mathematics and Statistics

Dates: 24th August-28th August

Description: The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from geometric group theory, dynamics, and operator algebras to highlight and strengthen connections among our areas. The conference will include both research talks and introductory mini-courses, making it especially beneficial for early-career researchers. There will also be opportunities for lightning talks and poster presentations.
