General Info

This summer school is partly funded by the VolkswagenStiftung and will take place 1-5 July 2019.

It will be a meeting with only one plenary talk per day and the rest of the time used for planning, workshops on special topics, discussions and coding sprints. The plenary talks will be given by

• Alexandre Borovik (University of Manchester, Manchester, England)
• Alexander Hulpke (Colorado State University, Fort Collins, USA)
• Eamonn O’Brien (University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand)
• Cheryl Praeger (University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia)
• Colva Roney-Dougal (University Of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Scotland)

Specific information

The main goals of the summer school are to

• Illuminate gaps: Identify, describe and classify open problems in theory and implementation.
• Examine challenges: Analyse the complexity of probabilistic methods and their chances for success.
• Discuss applications: Pitch ambitious future projects.

With an unusual schedule which includes only five plenary talks, there will be plenty of time for workshops, discussion groups and coding sprints. Some of the most distinguished researchers in the field will present relevant material in the plenary lectures. A variety of communication formats and the mixed audience will create the energy that is necessary to gain new momentum in this research area.
