Call for Participation

23rd International Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory

==========================================================
The Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory (FCT) was established in 1977 as a forum for researchers interested in all aspects of theoretical computer science, and in particular algorithms, complexity, formal and logical methods. FCT is a biennial series of conferences, previously held in Poland, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Russia, Romania, Latvia, Norway, United Kingdom, France, and Denmark. The last five Symposia were held in Oslo (2011), Liverpool (2013), Gdansk (2015), Bordeaux (2017), and Copenhagen (2019).

FCT 2021 will be held completely online, via the Zoom platform, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be hosted by the National Technical University of Athens.
