A celebration of Goulden and Jackson's combined 90 years of insight and inspiration that have shaped the fields of algebraic and combinatorial enumeration.
AlCoVE aims to bring together researchers interested in algebraic combinatorics from around the world. Each talk will be 30 minutes and between talks, there will be casual social activities for spending time with your friends and making new friends.

Title: Combinatorial atlas for log-concave inequalities

Abstract:
The study of log-concave inequalities for combinatorial objects have seen much progress in recent years. One such progress is the solution to the strongest form of Mason’s conjecture (independently by Anari et. al. and Brándën-Huh).
We are pleased to announce a virtual workshop in honour of Chris Godsil's 75th birthday. Chris Godsil's imprint on mathematics goes beyond algebraic combinatorics to merge theory and application, emerging research areas and well-developed mathematical tools. Chris Godsil is a research leader in discrete mathematics and he continues to be influential in a wide range of mathematical subdisciplines and communities around the world. He has long been a prominent member of the Canadian combinatorial community, working first at Simon Fraser University and then playing a leadership role in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo; as a result, Chris Godsil has influenced multiple generations of mathematicians in Canada and abroad.
The goal of this workshop is not just to honour Chris Godsil's contributions and his impact on mathematics, but also to also bring together researchers in discrete math whose work has been influenced by Chris Godsil. We invite researchers in combinatorics, matrix theory, and quantum information theory from all over the world to join us, and will have sessions to accomodate a range of time zones.
Fulkerson 100 is a workshop organized by the Dept. of Combinatorics & Optimization (C&O) from July 17-19, 2024 at the University of Waterloo, to celebrate Fulkerson's legacy and impact in discrete mathematics, especially in the fields of graph theory, optimization, and operations research. Fulkerson 100 will feature invited talks in graph theory, combinatorics, optimization, and theoretical computer science, given by some of the foremost researchers in these areas, as well as lightning talks and a poster session devoted to students and postdocs. By bringing together various leading researchers in discrete mathematics with junior researchers and students, the workshop aims to boost research in the areas pioneered by Fulkerson, while commemorating his vision and contributions.
