This conference aims to bring together researchers working in diverse areas of Combinatorics, including topological combinatorics, graph theory, enumerative combinatorics, and combinatorial commutative algebra, along with emerging applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The meeting will provide a platform for presenting recent advances, exchanging ideas, and fostering collaborations among mathematicians and researchers from related disciplines.
Combinatorics plays a central role in modern mathematics and forms the backbone of many developments in computer science, optimization, and data science. By highlighting both foundational theory and contemporary applications, the conference seeks to promote active research interactions, encourage young scholars, and strengthen the growing combinatorics community.
