The Rocky Mountain-Great Plains Graduate Research Workshop in Combinatorics (GRWC), will be held in Laramie, WY (2016), Denver, CO (2017) and Ames, IA (2018), building upon successful NSF-funded workshops in 2014 and 2015. Each workshop will involve approximately 39 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and 10 or more faculty members in an intense two-week collaborative research experience. Participants will work to solve important, relevant problems from graph theory, enumeration, combinatorial matrix theory, finite geometry, and other modern sub-disciplines of combinatorics. Students will prepare open problems prior to the workshop under the guidance of faculty mentors from the organizing committee, which consists of faculty from Iowa State University, the University of Colorado Denver, the University of Denver, the University of Nebraska Lincoln, and the University of Wyoming. These problems, presented at the workshop by their proposers or hosted on the workshop's secure problem wiki, will be worked on by small groups of participating students, postdocs, and faculty. For more information about the GRWC, including a detailed description of the workshop format, please see the workshop website at http://sites.google.com/site/rmgpgrwc The goal of the collaborations at the heart of the GRWC is to produce high-quality, publishable research on a variety of topics. Another longer-term goal of the workshop is to help student participants expand their professional research networks. A strong research network is often a crucial part of building a generative and sustainable research program, and establishing these connections at an early career stage can have a long-term positive effect on the quality, impact, and depth of a professional's research portfolio. Participation in the GRWC will allow students to cultivate a large professional network of peers from the combinatorics community with whom they will be able to interact and collaborate throughout their careers. The GRWC will also offer professional development workshops to help students and postdocs prepare for job searches and future careers in academia, industry, or government.

落基山脉大平原研究生组合数学研讨会（GRWC），将在拉勒米，怀俄明州（2016年），丹佛，CO（2017年）和艾姆斯，IA（2018年）举行，建立在成功的NSF资助的研讨会在2014年和2015年。 每个研讨会将涉及大约39名研究生和博士后研究人员，以及10名或更多的教职员工在一个激烈的为期两周的合作研究经验。参与者将致力于解决图论，枚举，组合矩阵理论，有限几何和组合学的其他现代子学科的重要相关问题。学生将在研讨会之前在组委会教师指导下准备开放问题，组委会由来自爱荷华州州立大学、科罗拉多丹佛大学、丹佛大学、内布拉斯加大学林肯和怀俄明州大学的教师组成。这些问题，由他们的提议者在研讨会上提出，或在研讨会的安全问题维基上托管，将由参与的学生，博士后和教师组成的小组进行研究。有关GRWC的更多信息，包括研讨会形式的详细描述，请参阅研讨会网站http://sites.google.com/site/rmgpgrwc GRWC核心合作的目标是就各种主题进行高质量、可持续的研究。研讨会的另一个长期目标是帮助学生参与者扩大他们的专业研究网络。一个强大的研究网络往往是建立一个生成性和可持续的研究计划的关键部分，在职业生涯的早期阶段建立这些联系可以对专业人员的研究组合的质量，影响和深度产生长期的积极影响。参加GRWC将使学生能够培养来自组合学社区的同行的大型专业网络，他们将能够在整个职业生涯中进行互动和合作。GRWC还将提供专业发展研讨会，帮助学生和博士后为求职和未来在学术界，工业界或政府的职业生涯做好准备。
