Dear colleague, it is a pleasure for us to invite you to the Spring School on Combinatorics 2010. It will be held from March 13 to March 21 in Borova Lada, Czech Republic. The participants will be undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics or of computer science with some of their professors. If you want to participate, please, send us filled-in MINI-QUESTIONNAIRE appended below, not later than February 1! Please fill in and send us the questionnaire also in case that you are not a student. The main part of the scientific programme will be students' presentations of papers on combinatorics, graph theory, algorithms or other related areas. Students may also present their own research results, after an arrangement with the organizers. The participants are expected to come on the whole term and attend all the lectures. The school schedule will allow sufficient opportunities for leisure time activities (hiking, cross-country skiing, etc.). Borova Lada is a small village near the border of the Czech Republic and Germany with the beautiful surrounding landscape. Continually updated information about the Spring School will be displayed at Spring School webpages (http://kam.mff.cuni.cz/spring). A special bus will be arranged for going to Borova Lada on March 13 (the departure time can be discussed according to the needs of participants; a preliminary suggestion is to leave in the morning) and from Borova Lada on March 21 (the arrival time to Prague will be adjusted to your demands). If you want to stay overnight in Prague before or after the Spring School, we can arrange a dormitory-style accommodation for you assuming that you fill this in your questionnaire.
