The goal of the conference AGFR is to discuss recent progress in the structure theory of linear algebraic groups with applications to related problems of representation theory, finite group theory, asymptotic group theory, word maps, Kac-Moody theory, theory of Chevalley groups and the like. These subjects reflect the wide range of interests of Professor Nikolai Vavilov, and the main objective of the meeting is to study current developments in this broad area and to outline the new perspectives of the scientific collaboration.

We plan five working days, each day containing plenary talks and a limited number of contributed talks.
