This CIMPA school aims to introduce graduate students and early-career researchers to the diverse fields of combinatorics and graph theory. It will highlight their wide-reaching applications and connections to other areas of mathematics and beyond.
The program spans introductory and advanced courses. Foundational topics will cover key ideas in combinatorics and graph theory, equipping participants with essential tools and techniques. The curriculum delves into subjects such as matroid theory, extremal graph theory, topological graph theory, enumerative combinatorics, and graph algorithms. Practical problem-solving sessions and programming exercises tailored to combinatorics and graph theory will further enhance participants’ skill sets.
Participants will also have the chance to collaborate in small research groups, fostering discussion and exploration of selected topics. These groups are designed to encourage continued collaboration even after the school concludes.
