The two-year cycle of conferences "GABY - Groups & Algebras in Bicocca for Young algebraists" stems from the will to support young researchers in group theory, algebra and related topics. The convention is committed to provide an introduction to those topics of group theory and algebra that may not be readily available in any institution and that cover some of the most inviting research topics. Each conference in the series consists of three mini-courses complemented by lectures, posters, and discussion sessions. In addition, we give participants the opportunity to present their research and to expand their network of contacts with other researchers in the areas of interest to them.
Topics: representations of groups, geometric group theory, growth of groups, amenable groups, p-adic groups
