Groups, Graphs and Combinatorics 2026— TU Dresden
Overview
This is an informal one-day workshop to explore common themes and potential future collaboration around group theory, graph theory and combinatorics. Recent years have seen a number of exciting developments at the intersection of these fields, and we hope to bring together researchers from different backgrounds to discuss these developments and their potential applications.
