Manifolds and groups in Bologna, III

Workshop

  • Date: from 14 April 2025 to 16 April 2025

  • Event location: Department of Mathematics - room: "aula VII piano" - 7° floor

  • Access Details: Free admission subject to enrolment

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 of main lectures and shorter talks in order to give the opportunity to young researchers to present their own research.
