Summer School on Geometric and Algebraic Combinatorics Paris, 17-28 June 2019

Description

This two-week summer school will present an overview of a selection of topics in the crossroads between geometry, algebra, and combinatorics. It will consist of four one-week mini-courses given by leading experts, complemented with supervised exercise sessions, lectures by invited researchers, and research presentations by junior participants. The school is aimed at young researchers in geometric and algebraic combinatorics and related fields, although any interested researcher is welcome to participate. We expect the school to be an opportunity to bring together researchers from different backgrounds and foster new interactions. This school is part of the ongoing ANR project CAPPS.
