The overview
The conference is an annual event aimed at PhD students and young researchers.
The idea is to combine well-received parts (that were addressed to young
participants) of two recent conferences in Bedlewo - a conference on
Geometric Group Theory (2004) and the
"Borsuk" conference
on Geometric Topology (2005).
Workshop: a series of lectures, given by a specialist,
accompanied by recitations. Question Sessions: a question and answer
session held in a relaxed atmosphere. Up to 12 one-hour conference talks
are planned as well, but the emphasis is on the workshop and the
question sessions.
