Combinatorial Coworkspace 2026

— a session in algebraic and geometric combinatorics —

Haus Bergkranz · Kleinwalsertal · Austria · March 20-28, 2026

A “coworkspace” is a place where people come together to work together or simply side-by-side. The goal of our “combinatorial coworkspace” is to give a group of motivated young and promising as well as established mathematicians such a place to explore new directions, applications, cooperations, and alliances within combinatorics and beyond. A context is provided by a suitable number of tutorials and lectures and the beautiful location encourages to take mathematical thoughts outdoors.

Participation is by invitation only.

Organizers

Martina Juhnke-Kubitzke (Osnabrück) · Thomas Kahle (Magdeburg) · Raman Sanyal (Frankfurt) · Christian Stump (Bochum)

Presentations

We will feature one tutorial, four surveys, hands-on sessions, and further talks.

Tutorial (~360min spread over multiple slots)
General introduction to a topic, potentially including exercises.

Surveys (90min)
Overview of a research topic and its connections to geometric, topological and algebraic combinatorics.

hands-on sessions (90min)
Be prepared to work yourself (under supervision) on the topic of the hands-on session. Starting with an introduction, the goal for everyone is to use your own computer to play and experience the session's topic.

Talks: (30-60 min)
Research talk, keeping in mind the diverse audience.
