The workshop will cover a wide range of research directions in the general areas of geometric and computational group theory and simplicial and polyhedral complexes. Of interest are besides computational also geometric, topological and spectral aspects.

The aim of the workshop is to bring researchers with different research backgrounds together and to provide ample opportunities to discuss recent developments as well as challenging open questions. The venue should also be inspirational for young researchers entering into this field.
