Conjecturally, there are only finitely many possible fundamental groups of Calabi-Yau manifolds. I will start by reviewing some of the known examples of such "Calabi-Yau groups" and their importance or string theory. Then I will present some progress towards the classification of the free quotients of complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds in products of projective spaces.
