Conference Manifolds and groups in Bologna

The aim of this workshop is to bring together young researchers working in low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory in a broad sense. The event consists in main lectures and shorter talks in order to give the opportunity to young researchers to present their own research.
The workshop is hosted by the University of Bologna and it is sponsored by the GNSAGA (INdAM).

After the workshop, the University of Bologna will host the Attività presso l’Unità di Ricerca INdAM “Non-positive curvature in manifolds and groups” (March 24,  2023), sponsored by INdAM. This one-day event will consist in four main lectures given by international speakers.
