The XXVIIIth International Colloquium on Group-Theoretical Methods in Physics (ICGTMP), also known as the GROUP 28 conference, took place in Newcastle upon Tyne from 26–30 July 2010. There were 128 attendees from 22 countries – physicists, mathematicians, chemists and engineers who use mathematical and numerical methods based on geometry and symmetry in their work. The conference was organised jointly by Northumbria and Durham Universities. The conference website is http://group28.northumbria.ac.uk.
