[DMANET] Prague Summer School on Discrete Mathematics, August 1-5, 2016

The first edition of the Prague Summer School on Discrete Mathematics
organized jointly by Computer Science Institute of Charles University
and the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences will
take place from August 1 to August 5, 2016. The venue of the School is
the building of the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of
Sciences in the historical center of Prague. There will be lectures in
the mornings and exercise classes in the afternoons on each of the 5
days of the School. The lecturers will be

* Samuel Fiorini (Free University of Brussels), who will talk on
extended formulations in combinatorial optimization

* Ronald de Wolf (CWI), who will talk on Fourier analysis of Boolean
functions, with applications to discrete mathematics, complexity
theory, and social choice theory.

The School is primarily but not exclusively intended for PhD students
and postdocs. There is no registration fee. Thanks to the generous
support of the RSJ Foundation, the Institute of Mathematics of the
Czech Academy of Sciences, and Computer Science Institute of Charles
University we can offer a limited number of stipends that cover the
travel and the
stay.
