Description
This will be a three day workshop on Geometric and Topological Combinatorics, with lectures in the morning and time for discussions and networking in the afternoons. It is primarily funded by the Einstein Foundation Berlin, as part of Francisco Santos' Einstein Visiting Fellowship within the Discrete Geometry Group at FU Berlin for 2016-2019. Additional funding is provided by the project Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics (SFB Transregio 109) and the Berlin Mathematical School.
