With great sadness we received the news in December last year that Jacques Tits passed away.

To honour one of the most influential mathematicians from Belgium, a conference is organized in his memory, in collaboration with Belgian Mathematical Society.

The event "Algebras, Geometries, and Groups" will take place on December 20 and 21, in the Royal Academy of Belgium, Rue Ducale 1 in Bruxelles.

Attendance is open to everyone, but registration is compulsory.

Speakers are

- Jean-Pierre BOURGUIGNON (IHES)

- Michel BROUE (Paris)

- Bernhard MÜHLHERR (Gießen)

- Anne PARREAU (Grenoble)

- Guy ROUSSEAU (Nancy)

- Katrin TENT (Münster)

- Donna TESTERMAN (Lausanne)

- Jean-Pierre TIGNOL (Louvain-La-Neuve)

- Richard WEISS (Tufts).

More information and the registration form can be found on the conference website which will be regularly updated:

http://dwispc8.vub.ac.be/nieuwBMS/index.php?id=agg

Attendance is free for PhD students and 30 EUR per person per day for non-PhD students for registrations before October 15. From October 16 onwards, attendance is 30 EUR per day for PhD students and 50 EUR per person per day for non-PhD students. The registration fee covers lunches and coffee breaks.

Hope to see you there!
