+        The Dynamical Systems Group at the Universidad de la República has
+        been organizing several  international Conferences and
+        Workshops in the last 20 years, focusing on different aspects of
+        dynamics and related topics.
+      </p>
+    <p>
+        As our group expanded, both in number of participants and areas
+        of research, we are holding a Workshop on Groups, Geometry and Dynamics
+        on 2018 at Montevideo as a satellite conference of ICM 2018 (Rio de
+        Janeiro). The goal of the Workshop is to bring together top scientists
+        working on these areas  to discuss new trends on these topics. The
+        idea is to have few talks and lots of discussion time.
+</p>
+      <p>
+        During the conference we will be holding  a memorial recognition to Ricardo Mañé
+        (1948-1995), a top Uruguayan mathematician who worked on Dynamical
+        Systems, and who in 2018 would have been 70 years old.
