Programme

The scope of this conference is Discrete Mathematics in a wide sense: graph theory, combinatorics, discrete geometry, computer science, and applications.
One of the main goals is to stress connections with other areas, in particular: analysis, geometry, number theory, physics and probability.
We ultimately aim to provide a panoramic view of deep mathematical developments in the area of discrete mathematics.
