Workshop C*-algebras and geometry of semigroups and groups

On May 2-May 6, 2022 we organise a workshop on the the geometry of C*-algebras associated with groups and semigroups. The workshop is hosted at the university of Oslo. The aim of the workshop is to present recent advances at the boundary of these fields with the potential for cross-fertilization. The workshop takes place physically and will accommodate some online talks.
