SUMMARY
The aim of this conference is to deepen the existing interactions between group theory and semigroup theory. The main themes of the conference include, not exclusively: the application of permutation group theory in the theory of transformation semigroups; computational techniques in group theory and semigroup theory; and combinatorial
methods in group theory and semigroup theory.
The conference will be organized by the Centro de Álgebra da
Universidade de Lisboa (CAUL), the Centro Internacional de Matemática (CIM), and the Departamento de Matemática da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (DM-FCUL).
