First announcement

The workshop continues the tradition of Prague Combinatorial Workshops held since 1993. Oriented on problems of all fields of graph theory, combinatorics and discrete geometry, it will continue in the spirit and informal working atmosphere of the previous meetings.

The workshop takes place at DIMATIA and the Department of Applied Mathematics of Charles University, Malostranske namesti 25, Prague 1, which is located in a historic building in the center of Old Prague. The workshop is also supported by Computer Science Institute of Charles University.

The workshop participation is by invitation only. If in doubt please contact organizers. In case you need an invitation letter (for example for your visa), please let us know and we will be happy to write one for you.

The accommodation and part of the meals are provided by the organizers. We will collect a modest fee of EUR 70 towards the expenses.

The program will be determined from day to day. The afternoons are reserved for discussions and other program. If you intend to give a talk, please let us know few days in advance so that we may schedule Monday program.

Program

The workshop starts every day in the morning at 9:30, there will be up to 5 roughly 30 minute talks and a coffee break roughly at 10:30. The morning program ends before 1 p.m. and is followed by a lunch. Afternoons are reserved for individual discussions and problem solving.

The schedule of the Tuesday – Friday talks will be decided on Monday, you are welcome to give (preferably a problem-oriented) talk. Only the title is required, the abstracts will be collected afterwards for the workshop booklet. We will also collect transparencies (if any).

The registration starts on Monday at 9:00 in the hallway of 2nd floor, just in front of lecture room S5. The talks will begin around 9:30 in S5. If you arrive later, please register with Mrs. Nana Giorgadze (KAM and IUUK secretary, room 222).
