Abstract
As groups today contain ~60% of the galaxy population [1], and are the first step in the hierarchical growth tree which dominates structure formation, these environments must have a critical influence on the evolution of star formation in the Universe as a whole. Indeed their dynamics make them the ideal environments to foster galaxy–galaxy interactions and mergers, leading to a dramatic transformation of galaxy properties.
