The 2024 Korean Student Combinatorics Workshop (KSCW2024, 2024 조합론 학생 워크샵) was held in Gongju from July 29 to August 2, 2024. Sponsored by the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group, this event aims to provide a platform for Korean graduate students working on combinatorics and related areas to establish a foundation for collaborative research. It was organized by four students of KAIST/IBS: Donggyu Kim (김동규), Seokbeom Kim (김석범), Seonghyuk Im (임성혁), and Hyunwoo Lee (이현우). The workshop featured two invited talks by Semin Yoo (유세민) and Jungho Ahn (안정호), as well as open problem sessions followed by ample time for joint work.
From November 1 to November 5, 2023, the 3rd East Asia Workshop on Extremal and Structural Graph Theory was held in Okinawa, Japan. It is a workshop to bring active researchers in the field of extremal and structural graph theory, especially in East Asia such as China, Japan, and Korea. Participants have a great chance to discuss recent progress in graph theory, interesting open problems, and finding new potential collaborators. The previous workshops were held in Shanghai (2018) and Jeju (2019). The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group was the main sponsor of the workshop.
Invited Speakers
Jiangdong Ai (Nankai University, China)
Ilkyoo Choi (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Korea)
The 2023 Vertex-Minor Workshop was held from October 15, 2023 to October 20, 2023 at SONO Belle Jeju in Korea. This workshop aimed to foster collaborative discussions and explore the various aspects of vertex-minors, including structural theory and their applications. There were 17 participants from Korea, Italy, UK, Australia, Japan, and China and participants had great time to discuss open problems related to the vertex-minors of graphs.
Talks
October 16: Sang-il Oum, Survey of vertex-minors
October 17: O-joung Kwon, The grid theorem for vertex-minors
October 17: James Davies, Vertex-minors and preparing graph states
October 17: Paul Wollan, Flat-wall theorem for vertex-minors
The MATRIX-IBS Workshop “Structural Graph Theory Downunder III” was held from April 17, 2023 to April 23, 2023 at Creswick, Victoria, Australia. This program is supported by MATRIX and the Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG) of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, Korea). MATRIX is a residential research institute for the mathematical sciences in Australia.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG) had its third internal workshop with the new IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) at the Yeosu Expo UTOP Marina Hotel & Resort under the name “The 2022 DIMAG-ECOPRO Joint Internal Workshop” on October 31-November 3, 2022. Participants include almost all current members of DIMAG and ECOPRO, Minki Kim from GIST, Cheolwon Heo from Sungkyunkwan University, Eun-Kyung Cho from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and Semin Yoo from KIAS. Every participant presented open problems and had active discussions.
On August 24, Monday, the 2020 Combinatorics Workshop (2020 조합론 학술대회) was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This local workshop series began in 2004 and has been continued to be one of the biggest annual gathering of people in combinatorics located in Korea. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been reduced to a one-day online conference on Zoom. It was hosted by Kyung Hee University and IBS Discrete Mathematics Group.
Combinatorics Workshop (조합론 학술대회) is the biggest annual conference in combinatorics in Korea. It was firstly held in 2004 by the Yonsei University BK21 Research Group. It has been advised by the committee of discrete mathematics of the Korean Mathematical Society since 2013. The aim of this workshop is to bring active researchers with different backgrounds to discuss recent and prospective advances in combinatorics and related areas.
Originally, we planned an offline workshop. However, COVID 19 is more spreading and many participants are worried about attending an offline conference. So the schedule and venue are changed as an online workshop with Zoom. I hope that all participants generously understand this sudden change.
The Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) will have its first workshop in Feb. 11-12, 2019. If you want to participate, then please register by January 28 on the website. We plan to provide accommodation for speakers and selected participants requested during the online registration.
