Presentation of YGGT

The workshop intentionally focusses on only four main speakers giving a 4-hour mini-course each. Their lectures are supposed to present a panoramic overview over some important developments in their field with the goal to enable the participants to actively participate in the new directions of research emerging from these developments. Special time slots will be reserved for active discussions of the participants under the moderation of the main speakers.

Besides the four main lecture series a number of shorter presentations are organized. The goal of these presentations is different: they try to make the participants aware of recent developments in geometric group theory, which are not covered by the main lectures. This is to broaden the scope of the workshop, and to encourage the participants to explore the boundaries of the subject.
