Asymptotic properties of finite groups and finite dimensional algebras.
Immediately preceding this, a workshop on Infinite Group Theory and related topics will be held in Edinburgh from the morning of Wednesday 10th December until lunchtime on Friday 12th December.
Invited speakers include: L. Bartholdi (Goettingen), T. Burness (Southampton), P. Dehornoy (Caen), B. Eick (Braunschweig), M. Geck (Aberdeen), D. Macpherson (Leeds), J. Mitchell (St Andrews), G. Pfeiffer

The invited talks will be accessible to postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows and researchers in all areas of group theory.
We invite postgraduate students to submit a 1-page outline for a poster paper by email to Colva Roney-Dougal
by Friday November 14th. The five best outlines will be invited to give a short talk at the workshop, and there will be a poster paper session for all postgraduates.
Organising Committee: Kenny Brown (Glasgow), Iain Gordon (Edinburgh), Jim Howie (Heriot-Watt), Tom Lenagan (Edinburgh) and Colva Roney-Dougal (St Andrews).
