The 33rd Conference of the European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization (ECCO 2020) will be held in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg during the white nights season. It will be hosted by St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
ECCO (European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization) is a working group of EURO (Association of European Operational Research Societies) that provides an excellent opportunity to discuss recent and important issues in Combinatorial Optimization and its applications.
A special issue of an international refereed journal containing selected full length papers will be dedicated to the conference.
The conference budget includes a limited amount of funds for fee waivers for PhD students from Eastern Europe presenting their work.

IIAS @ Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
http://ias.huji.ac.il/SchoolCSE4
Registration deadline: August 23, 2019
The school will introduce TCS and math students and faculty, who are interested in the theoretical aspects of quantum computation, to the beautiful and fascinating mathematical and computational open questions in the area, starting from scratch. No prior knowledge on quantum will be assumed. We hope to reach a point where participants gain initial tools and basic perspective to start working in this area.
The school will consist of several mini-courses, each of two or three hours, about central topics in the area. These include quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum supremacy, delegation and verification, interactive proofs, cryptography, and Hamiltonian complexity. We will emphasize concepts, open questions, and links to mathematics. We will have daily TA sessions with hands-on exercises, to allow for a serious process of learning.
Main speakers: Adam Bouland, Sergey Bravyi, Matthias Christandl, Sandy Irani, Avishay Tal, Thomas Vidick. Additional speakers: Dorit Aharonov, Zvika Brakerski, Or Sattath. (Lists are subject to changes and additions.)

We are happy to invite you to Columbia University to celebrate Christos Papadimitriou’s contributions to science on the occasion of his 70th birthday, through a mix of talks, panels, and fun activities. One of world’s leading computer scientists, Christos is best known for his work in computational complexity, helping to expand its foundations, methodology and reach. Using computation as a scientific lens, he has also made seminal contributions to biology and the theory of evolution, economics and game theory—where he helped found the field of algorithmic game theory, artificial intelligence, robotics, databases, networks and the Internet, and more recently the study of the brain. In this 3 day celebration, we will celebrate the wealth of areas that Christos’s work has influenced directly, as well as areas that have been influenced, are being influenced, or might be influenced by the “algorithmic lens.”
