About
The yearly Cargese workshop aims to bring together researchers in combinatorial optimization around a chosen topic of current interest. It is intended to be a forum for the exchange of recent developments and powerful tools, with an emphasis on theory. Other goals include the promotion of interactions between participants and discussions of open problems.
Mathematicians are known to be the only ones that can lay down in a sofa, close their eyes and pretend to work.
We propose to swap the sofa for a hammock... Do you want to join?
Topic
This edition's workshop will focus on "Matroid Theory", covering aspects such as structure, algorithms, and applications within combinatorial optimization.
Distinguished speakers
- Kristóf Bérczi (Eötvös Loránd University)
- Michal Feldman (Tel-Aviv University)
- Lisa Sauermann (University of Bonn)
- László Végh (University of Bonn)
Organization
The workshop will be hosted by L'Institut d'Études Scientifiques de Cargèse (IESC). This year's organizers are:
The organizers receive advise from the steering commitee, consisting of Fritz Eisenbrand, Michel Goemans, Monique Laurent, R. Ravi, and Jens Vygen.
Schedule
There will be morning and afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will be dedicated to longer survey-type talks or open problems. The afternoon sessions will be dedicated to discussions, shorter talks on related topics, and open problem sessions.
In their spare time, we encourage researchers to enjoy the beautiful landscape and opportunities of the island, besides solving a few open problems.
