The second EBC (Escola Brasileira de Combinatória / Brazilian School of Combinatorics) will be held at IMPA in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, during the week of March 10-14, 2025.
The first edition of the EBC gathered 87 participants from 8 Brazilian states and 10 other countries. It was organized by IME/USP, IMPA and INCTMat, with support from CNPq, CAPES and FAPESP. The second edition of the EBC will have a similar format, with 11 plenary talks, 2 mini-courses, and daily poster presentations. The EBC also provides an excellent opportunity for researchers and students from Brazil and abroad to start new collaborations, and a significant amount of time will be set aside during the week for participants to work on open problems in small groups.
Students/postdocs not from Rio de Janeiro who are unable to obtain financial support from their home institutions may apply for financial assistance (must indicate this when register). EBC expects to be able to offer limited support to at least 50 students. Students/postdocs from Rio de Janeiro may apply for a registration fee waiver. The application deadline is January 10th, 2025, with responses expected by January 15th, 2025.
Who wants to be considered to present a poster during the conference, must indicate the interest in the registration form by submiting its abstract. The application deadline is January 10th, 2025, with responses expected by January 15th, 2025.
The registration fee includes access to all activities, including the social events. In order to maximize the number of students we can support, EBC encourage all participants to seek local funding sources, such as state research agencies, graduate program support (such as PROAP/PROEX), or personal/group research grants.
