This is to announce a combined workshop and conference

  `Groups, Actions, Computations' (GAC2010),

at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute in Allahabad, India.

  from September 1st to September 12th, 2010,

taking place under the auspices of the International Centre for
Theoretical Sciences of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.

We will address recent developments in finite group theory, with
a definite emphasis on computational aspects: next to general
techniques for matrix and permutation groups, we will discuss
the classification of and computations with p-groups, give an
introduction to simple groups and how to compute with them,
and consider actions of finite groups on Riemann surfaces.

In the workshop part we will have various introductory lecture
series, which additionally will be accompanied by practical
introductions to the computer algebra system GAP; amongst the
speakers will be Max Neunhöffer (St.Andrews) and Eamonn O'Brien
(Auckland). Subsequently, in the conference part recent research
results will be presented by internationally renowned experts.
