World of GroupCraft II
World of GroupCraft II is the second in a series of short, international conferences with an emphasis on Early Career Researchers in Geometric Group Theory. It will last for 25 hours straight, and aims to be a relaxed event, run on coffee and Zoom.
The shift to Zoom and digital meetings has awesome potential for much wider dispersal of research and provides greater opportunities for folk to attend events like this and to engage with researchers from all over the world - so let's make the most of it while we can!
Attendees are expected to be students or identify as Early Career Researchers. There is no obligation to be awake for the entire 25hrs.
