A conference about "Groups, Rings and the Yang-Baxter equation" will be held at Domain Sol Cress in the beautiful town of Spa, Belgium. The international conference focusses on recent developments in the areas of ring theory, group theory and the new structure, called braces, that recently has attracted a lot of attention because of its role in a description of set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Special emphasis is given on the relations between these areas and in particular on topics where a mixture of methods (involving these theories) has been used. Some topics of particular interest are: group rings, unit groups, (graded) rings and also various algebraic structures used in the context of the Yang-Baxter Equation.
