DIMACS Tutorial on Fine-grained Complexity

July 15-19, 2024
DIMACS, New Jersey, USA
http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/events/details?eID=2764

Submission deadline: March 28, 2024
Registration deadline: March 25, 2024

DIMACS is organizing a tutorial in Fine-grained complexity in July 2024. The tutorial is primarily for graduate students working on topics in and around theoretical computer science (TCS) who are not already familiar with fine-grained complexity. Students who do not have access to an expert in fine-grained complexity at their institution and students working in other areas of TCS (i.e. not fine-grained complexity) who want to incorporate the fine-grained lens into their research will be prioritized for admission and financial support.

Summer School on High-dimensional Expanders

May 22-26, 2023
Ghent, Belgium
https://algebra.ugent.be/hdx/

This summer school on high-dimensional expanders is the first event organized in the framework of the EOS-project “High-dimensional expanders and Kac–Moody–Steinberg groups”. It consists of 7 short series of lectures by experts in the field and is meant to be accessible to a wide audience of both young and established researchers.

IPAM Graduate Summer School on Post-quantum and Quantum Cryptography

July 25-29, 2022
Los Angeles, USA
http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/gss2022b

Registration deadline: April 15, 2022

The goal of this summer school is to present an in-depth introduction to post-quantum and quantum cryptography for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young researchers, in mathematics, computer science, and physics. Lecturers in the school will discuss both topics hand in hand: post-quantum
cryptography, or the art of analyzing security of classical
cryptosystems against attacks, and quantum cryptography, or the art of leveraging quantum effects to develop new cryptographic schemes that are made possible by quantum information.

Prague Summer School on Discrete Mathematics

School on Modern Directions in Discrete Optimization

September 13-17, 2021
Online
https://www.him.uni-bonn.de/programs/future-programs/future-trimester-programs/discrete-optimization/discrete-optimization-school/

Aims and Scope:
The school provides an introduction to some of the main topics of the trimester program on discrete optimization. The lectures will address the interface between tropical geometry and discrete optimization; recent developments in continuous optimization with applications to combinatorial problems; topics in approximation algorithms; and fixed parameter tractability. The lectures will be mainly directed towards PhD students and junior researchers.

Lecturers:

Michał Pilipczuk (Warsaw University): Introduction to parameterized algorithms and applications in discrete optimization

Aaron Sidford (Stanford University): Introduction to interior point methods for discrete optimization

Ngoc Mai Tran (UT Austin): Tropical solutions to hard problems in auction theory and neural networks, semigroups and extreme value statistics

Rico Zenklusen (ETH Zürich): Approximation algorithms for hard augmentation problems
