Prairie Discrete Math Workshop

The 2012 event will be a two-day workshop that will cover a range of different areas of discrete mathematics and related areas. The confirmed invited speakers for the workshop are:

 * Gary MacGillivray - University of Victoria

 * Karen Meagher - University of Regina

 * Ortrud Oellermann - University of Winnipeg

 * Paul Ottaway - Thompson Rivers University

 * Lorna Stewart - University of Alberta

 * Csaba Tóth - University of Calgary

Some time slots are available for 25 minute contributed talks (note that higher priority may be given to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and/or junior faculty members should we have more submissions than available time slots). There is also plenty of room for posters and we invite anyone interested in contributing a poster to do so.

Funding from The Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences, as well as the Faculty of Science and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Calgary allows us to offset workshop costs for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows by providing accommodation. Further information is available on the website. There are a limited number of rooms available, so if you are interested, please let the organizers know by March 15, 2012.

Please feel welcome to forward this message to other researchers who may be interested in the workshop, including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
