Announcing a semester program in the

		Representation Theory of Finite Groups
			and Related Topics

at the

	Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley

		        January - May,   2008

Organizers:  Jonathan Alperin, Michel Broue, Jon Carlson (chair),
	Alexander Kleshchev, Jeremy Rickard and Bhama Srinivasan


During the spring semester of 2008, there will be a program on the
Representation Theory of Finite Groups at MSRI in Berkeley. The program
will focus on many areas of representation theory as well as connections
to other subjects such as algebraic topology and the representations of
algebraic groups.  It will run concurrently with a program on
Combinatorial Representation Theory. Workshops will focus on major
problems in representation theory as well as applications to other
ares of mathematics.
