Title: Geometric and topological aspects of the representation theory of finite groups
There will be a Summer school, followed by a Workshop, on the representation theory of finite groups and related algebraic structures, with an emphasis on the modular case.
Venue: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Summer School: 27th to 30th July 2016
