Program

The aim of this conference is to identify future work in algebraic combinatorics and its related fields, including symmetric function theory, representation theory, and many other areas.

​The conference will feature 4 speakers a day as we wish to leave ​ample time between talks so that participants can collaborate and initiate new projects. There will also be opportunities for young researchers to present an interesting question or open problem in the form of a poster or a short "lightning talk".

Adriano Garsia's contribution to the field is as fundamental as legendary and we will happily use this opportunity to celebrate his 90th birthday.

If you have a question, please write to esergel07@gmail.com. If you're interested in receiving updates about this conference, please enter your email address here.
