Combinatorics

The society’s annual meeting covers combinatorics across mathematics and computer science. Invited lectures and parallel contributed sessions bring together researchers working throughout the discipline. The programme also includes the society’s annual general meeting, excursions and a conference dinner with the Anne Penfold Street Student Prize for the best student talk. The meeting is hosted at Monash University’s Clayton campus. Registration includes the dinner, with reduced rates for students, unwaged participants and society life members. The early-bird deadline was 2 October 2026; abstra

…will connect methods from probability, combinatorics, graph theory, matrix analysis and information theory. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is intended to advance open problems, reveal relationships between these areas and support emerging researchers.

…He introduces combinatorics and its connections with other areas, including the relationship between Ramsey theory and sphere packing, ahead of his invited lecture at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians.

…collaborative work with DeepMind on a combinatorics problem, he considers the distinction between obeying formal rules and producing ideas that mathematicians judge important or ingenious, and discusses near-term changes to mathematical practice.
