The 33rd/35th International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics (ICGTMP, Group33/35) will be held in Cotonou, Benin, July 15 - 19, 2024. 

The ICGTMP series is traditionally dedicated to the application of symmetry and group theoretical methods in physics, mathematics and other sciences, and to the development of mathematical tools and theories for progress in group theory and symmetries. Over the years, it has further broadened and diversified due to the successful application of group theoretical, geometric and algebraic methods in life sciences and other areas. The conference has an interdisciplinary character. It aims at bringing together experts and young researchers from different fields encouraging cross disciplinary interactions.

This is the meeting originally scheduled for 2020, postponed until now due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
