[DMANET] Master's program in combinatorics

Master's program in combinatorics in Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, one of the top Russian technical and science universities, has successfully launched International Master's Degree Program "Advanced Combinatorics": https://mipt.ru/education/chairs/dm/master-s-program-in-discrete-mathematics/ The program focuses on modern research topics, including
Combinatorial Geometry, Extremal Combinatorics, Random Graphs and Hypergraphs, Additive Combinatorics. Moreover, the Program includes some important applied topics such as Game Theory and Analysis of Complex Networks. The latter is supported by the opportunity to practice with real-world big data at Yandex, the top Russian internet search engine.

Now, we invite students to apply for admission on the program in 2016-2017 years.

Students will be offered complete coverage of living expenses. Moreover, a stipend of 5000 Russian Rubles will be paid monthly, and additional scholarship will be available. Courses taught by both experienced MIPT professors (V.L. Dol'nikov, A.Ya. Kanel-Belov, R.N. Karasev, A.M. Raigorodskii, D.A. Shabanov, I.D. Shkredov), and invited lecturers, incl. M. Simonovits (Renyi Institute, Budapest), G.O.H. Katona (Renyi Institute, Budapest), J. Pach (EPFL, Lausanne; Renyi Institute, Budapest), B. Sudakov (ETH Zurich), P. Tetali (Georgia Tech, Atlanta). The scientific level of the program is quite high, and the relationships with best PhD schools all around the world (Cambridge, EPFL, MIT, etc.) are established.
