we are pleased to announce the workshop
Structuring Combinatorial Problems with Symmetry
to take place at
*Chemnitz University of Technology *in *Germany *from *24–26 **June** 2026*.
This workshop focuses on the systematic and algorithmic use of symmetry
as well as group-theoretic and optimization-based methods in the study
of combinatorial and geometric problems. It aims to bring together
researchers working in discrete mathematics, polynomial optimization,
applied real algebraic geometry and representation theory where symmetry
plays a structural or algorithmic role. The goal is to foster exchange
between intertwining perspectives and to stimulate further collaboration
in this active area.
Lectures will be given by:

* Nidhi Khainsa <https://sites.google.com/view/kaihnsa/about> (Copenhagen)
* Nando Leijenhorst <https://nanleij.github.io/> (Toulouse)
