Next week in Weizmann Institute there will be a Winter school in expansion in groups combinatorics and complexity. (The link includes abstracts for the lectures.)
Dates: January 5-8, 2025
Venue: The beautiful Lopatie conference center, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.
Registration: Registration is free but mandatory. Click [here] for a link to the registration page.
