Group34: Third Circular
Dear Colleague,
We would like to invite you to participate in the 34th edition of the International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics (group34), to be held at Strasbourg University, France, 18-22 July 2022.
The International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics (ICGTMP) is one of the traditional conference series covering the most important topics of symmetry which are relevant to the interplay of present-day mathematics and physics.
The registration was opened on our website: https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/23498/ on January, where the procedure for online registration is explained. (If necessary, update your browser to view the webpage properly.) The deadline for registration is 13 June 2022, with an early registration deadline on 15 May 2022, after which the fees will increase by 50 euros. On the website you can also find information on accommodation. We would like to remind you that the deadline for an early registration with discount, is fast approaching.
For participants who will not be able to visit Strasbourg, there will be a possibility to give their lecture remotely and all sessions (plenary and parallel) will be live-streamed (via a connection ID which will be circulated in due time). The conference fees will be the same for on-line and in-person participants.
Looking forward to seeing you in Strasbourg!
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,Michel Rausch de Traubenberg

2022 WEYL-WIGNER AWARD
Call for nominations (OPEN until February 28, 2022)
The purpose of the Award shall be to recognize outstanding contributions to the understanding of physics through group theory.
Contributions recognized by the Award may include the development and application of mathematical methods, applications of group theoretical methods in chemistry and other sciences, experimental predictions or formulations of general laws of nature using methods of group theory or representation theory, and other related developments. Group theory shall be construed in its widest sense, to include related mathematical structures.
Nominations should include name and affiliation of the candidate, together with at least a brief summary of his/her achievements that you consider to merit consideration for the Weyl-Wigner Award.
More detailed nomination materials, such as letters of recommendation, may be requested later if needed.
The first Weyl-Wigner Award will be awarded coinciding with the XXXIV ICGTMP (Group34), to be held in Strasbourg, France, 18-22 July, 2022.
Nominations may be submitted by e-mail to

2020 HERMANN WEYL PRIZE
Call for nominations (OPEN until January 31, 2020)
To be eligible for the Hermann Weyl Prize, the candidate should be either 35 years of age or younger, or be within 5 years of having received the doctoral degree, at the time of the deadline of the application.
Candidates should be nominated by or through the members of the Standing Committee of ICGTMP
1. A copy either of a valid identification document that indicates the age of the nominee or of the PhD diploma according to the eligibility criterion used by the candidate.

Group33: Preliminary Bulletin
The 33rd International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics (Group33) will be held in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, from Monday 13th July until Friday 17th July 2020.
This is the first time that ICGTMP will take place in Africa. It is being organized under the auspices of the Benin National Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, and with sponsorship of the Benin Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
The Group33 is a historic milestone for Africa, and will build bridges between scientists, mathematicians and students from Africa and from all other continents. In particular, we feel that African participants as well as others in the scientific community, will benefit greatly from your presentation.
Travelling to Benin has become quite easy. You just complete a short online e-Visa application form for visiting Benin. This allows a citizen of any of the eligible countries with passports that are valid for at least six (6) months from the expected date of entry into Benin, to obtain a Benin e-Visa for tourism or business purposes, which is sent by e-mail.
As a precaution against the possibility of malaria, it is recommended to take prescribed medication for the period of your stay. We would be glad to provide you with any additional information or assistance in connection with planning your travel to Benin.

The Chair of the Selection Committee, Professor Michio Jimbo of Rikkyo University, Tokyo, said: “the lifelong achievements of Bertram Kostant have had profound impact in pure mathematics. At the same time, his work miraculously has been finding its way to physics. Kostant’s winning the award perfectly suits the spirit of Wigner who coined the famous phrase the `unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the physical sciences’.” more…
