The 30th International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics (Group30) will be held at Ghent University in Ghent, Belgium, from Monday 14th July until Friday 18th July 2014. The ICGTPM series is traditionally dedicated to the application of symmetry and group theoretical methods in physics, chemistry and mathematics, 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.
