text: The basic idea of Grothendieck's anabelian geometry is that under certain "anabelian hypotheses" the étale fundamental group of a scheme contains all the geometric and arithmetic information about the scheme in discussion, that is to say, the scheme is functorially encoded in its étale fundamental group.
Among these we shall discuss applications to the inverse Galois problem, Belyi's theorem on covers of the projective line minus three points and some advanced results on ‘anabelian geometry’ of curves.

While the overall importance of the theorems of anabelian geometry appears to be widely acknowledged, there is as yet not much specific knowledge within the arithmetic geometry community of its coherent body of concepts and philosophy, and of the new technology that yields actual results.
