The focus of these activities will be on the algebraic and dynamical aspects of ordered group theory. Introductory mini-courses will be given in the first week by Adam Clay (Manitoba), Tyrone Ghaswala (Waterloo), Thomas Koberda (Virginia) and Andrés Navas (Santiago). The second week will be devoted to research talks covering recent advances in both the theory of ordered groups and their applications in group theory, dynamics and low-dimensional topology.
