[DMANET] Early-bird rates for the BCC end on 1st May

Dear All,

A reminder that early-bird rates (a discount of 50 pounds) for the 2013 British Combinatorial Conference end on Wednesday 1st May, at 18:00 GMT. 

The BCC will take place from 1st to 5th July (30th June arrival day) at Royal Holloway, University of London. Invited speakers are:

• Jacob Fox (MIT, USA) Graph removal lemmas.
• Massimo Giulietti (Perugia, Italy) The geometry of covering codes: small complete caps and saturating sets in Galois spaces.
• Tor Helleseth (Bergen, Norway) Bent Functions and their Connection to Combinatorics.
• Jan van den Heuvel (London School of Economics, UK) The complexity of change.
• Jozef Širáň (Open University, UK) How symmetric can maps on surfaces be?
• Einar Steingrímsson (Strathclyde, UK) Some open problems on permutation patterns.
• Kristina Vušković (Leeds, UK) The world of hereditary graph classes viewed through Truemper configurations.
• Geoff Whittle (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand) Structure in minor-closed classes of matroids.
• Doron Zeilberger (Rutgers, USA) Automatic Counting of Tilings of Skinny Plane Regions

To register, go to http://bcc2013.ma.rhul.ac.uk/ and click on the "Registration" button there. 

The organisers are currently able to offer a reduction of 100 pounds for PhD students: places at this reduced rate may be limited, and those seeking it may be asked to provide evidence of the fact that they are PhD students. Retired self-funded participants can also currently register at the PhD rate; again places may be limited, and proof of status may be asked for.

We look forward to welcoming you to Royal Holloway in 2013!
