European Prize in Combinatorics

Continuing with the tradition established at EuroComb'03 in Prague the European Prize in Combinatorics will be awarded during the conference EuroComb'11. The prize is established to recognize excellent contributions in Combinatorics, Discrete Mathematics and their Applications by young European researchers (eligibility of EU) not older than 35. The prize carries a monetary award of 2500 Euro.

The nomination letter including CV and the list of publications of the nominee should be sent to ec11@renyi.hu before March 16, 2011. The nominations will be evaluated by an international jury.

The award of 2500 EURO is founded with contributions of private companies, Rényi Institute and academic institutions.
