Abstract: In this paper we prove that the profinite completion $mathcalhatG$ of the Grigorchuk group $mathcalG$ is not finitely presented as a profinite group. We obtain this result by showing that $H^2(mathcalhatG,field{F}_2)$ is infinite dimensional. Also several results are proven about the finite quotients $mathcalG/S{t}_{mathcalG}(n)$ including minimal presentations and Schur Multipliers.
