5th Graduate Student Meeting in Applied Algebra and Combinatorics

The 2024 edition of the Graduate Student Meeting on Applied Algebra and Combinatorics will take place in Berlin, April 10-12. This is an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs interested in algebra and combinatorics and their applications to meet each other, communicate their research, and form new collaborations.

Over the course of three days, participants will get the chance to take part in two minicourses held by Georg Loho (he/him) and İrem Portakal (she/her) with interactive exercise sessions, a poster session, several contributed talks, software demonstrations, as well as an open problem session. See more information on the schedule at this page.

Location: Freie Universität Berlin. Arnimallee 3. Seminar room 001.

Registration is now closed.

Community agreement

• Our goal is to create a fun and supportive environment, where all participants feel welcome, safe, and included, regardless of mathematical background, gender identity and expression, nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, age, disability, or any other factor.

• We strongly believe that all participants have something valuable to contribute to the meeting, regardless of background or level of experience, and encourage everyone to ask questions and share ideas throughout all parts of the meeting. In particular, there are no questions that are “too basic”, and it’s perfectly natural to make mistakes. We also encourage everyone to be open to other people’s ideas, and make sure that everyone is heard and included in group discussions.

• There will be space on the name tags where everyone can indicate their personal gender pronouns if they want to, and it's important that this is respected. If you are unfamiliar with the practice of sharing and using pronouns, here is a useful guide.

• If you witness harassment or discriminatory behaviour, please consider intervening. We need the whole community to work together to make this event the welcoming and rewarding experience for all that we strive to achieve. If you do not feel comfortable intervening yourself, please seek out an organizer.
