=================================================

*** Attention! Due to the large number of financial support
applications, we have decided to settle an application procedure with
deadline on February 27th, 2019. See below. ***

SUMMER SCHOOL ON GEOMETRIC AND ALGEBRAIC COMBINATORICS
Sorbonne Université, Paris, France
June 17-28, 2019

: GACschool@imj-prg.fr

This two-week summer school will present an overview of a selection of
topics in the crossroads between geometry, algebra, and combinatorics.
It will consist of four one-week mini-courses given by leading experts,
complemented with supervised exercise sessions, lectures by invited
researchers, and research presentations by junior participants. The
school is aimed at young researchers in geometric and algebraic
combinatorics and related fields, although any interested researcher is
welcome to participate. We expect the school to be an opportunity to
bring together researchers from different backgrounds and foster new
interactions. This school is part of the ongoing ANR project CAPPS.

MINICOURSES
First week (June 17-21)
    • Federico Ardila (San Francisco State University & Universidad de
los Andes), "Geometry of Matroids"
    • Martina Juhnke-Kubitzke (University of Osnabrück), "Algebraic and
combinatorial aspects of face numbers and Stanley-Reisner rings"
Second week (June 24-28)
    • Isabella Novik (University of Washington), "Combinatorial and
topological aspects of face numbers and Stanley-Reisner rings"
    • Bernd Sturmfels (University of California at Berkeley & Max
Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences Leipzig), "Polyhedral
Subdivisions in Non-Parametric Statistics"

CALL FOR TALKS
The program will include some research presentations by junior participants.
To submit a contributed talk, follow the instructions on the conference
website.
The submission deadline is February 27th, 2019 and decisions will be
communicated in March.
More detailed and up-to-date information can be found on the conference
website.

APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
As the number of financial support applications has already exceeded the
limited capacity of the lecture rooms, the school will unfortunately not
manage to accept all candidate participants. To ensure a fair selection
process, we have settled the following application and registration process.

    1. Participation application

    Anyone willing to participate to the summer school (including those
who applied for financial support) needs to apply for participation.
    To apply for participation to the summer school, follow the
instructions on the conference website.
    The application deadline is February 27th, 2019 and decisions will
be communicated in March.
    More detailed and up-to-date information can be found on the
conference website.

    2. Registration

    Once the decisions are communicated, the selected participants will
have to register and pay the registration fees (except those exempted
from financial support of the school):
        • 100€/week for early registration before March 27th, 2019.
        • 150€/week for registration before May 29th, 2019.
    These fees only cover coffee breaks. Accommodation and meals remain
at the charge of the participants.
    The registration is not open yet and the selected participants will
be contacted in due time to proceed to the registration.
    More detailed and up-to-date information can be found on the
conference website.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The application deadline for financial support has passed and the
decisions were communicated to the applicants. Whether or not they
received financial support for accommodation or registration fees, the
participants must complete the application and registration procedures
described above.
