North British Geometric Group Theory Seminar
Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th April 2021
The NBGGT meeting on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th April 2021 will also serve
as the special session in Group Theory at the 2021 BMC in Glasgow.
Attenders need to register for the BMC, and for that session, but can apply
to Sarah Rees for reimbursement of their registration fees.
The programme will be as follows. Abstracts are available from the BMC site.
The BMC is being run online, and
access to the entire BMC programme is via Sococo.
