Recent developments concerning crystallographic groups, and all concepts which can be seen as generalizations of them, are the subject of this workshop. A non-exhaustive list of possible topics includes: Affine crystallographic groups and affine manifolds; Almost crystallographic groups and infra--nilmanifolds; Polynomial structures on polycyclic--by--finite groups and polynomial manifolds; Discrete subgroups of Lie groups and homogeneous spaces; Localisation problems for groups; Finitely generated groups, quasi-isometry and rigidity; Geometric group theory.

Speakers: Main talks (one hour each) will be given by, Y. Benoist (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris), M. Bridson (University of Oxford), C. Casacuberta (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), K. Dekimpe (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Campus Kortrijk), B. Farb (University of Chicago), W. Goldman (University of Maryland, College Park), G. Margulis (Yale University)
