The “Shanks Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory” will take place at Vanderbilt University, April 13-14, 2024. The focus of the workshop will be on structural graph theory, extremal combinatorics, graph coloring, Ramsey theory, and their intersections. The workshop will highlight significant recent achievements in these areas and provide a platform for researchers to share recent insights and tools, communicate their work, share open problems, and build new collaborations. The goals of the workshop are to (1) bring together researchers in combinatorics and graph theory to communicate and exchange ideas; (2) promote open problem-sharing and discussions among participants; (3) expose junior researchers to the latest developments in these areas; and (4) broaden and stimulate the research of junior, female, and underrepresented researchers.The field of combinatorics concerns problems and techniques in discrete settings. It is closely related to other areas of mathematics and has many applications ranging from evolutionary biology to computer science and from logic to statistical physics. Graph theory is one of the oldest parts of combinatorics, and it has numerous natural connections to other areas. The workshop will feature two plenary speakers and eight early-career speakers. Moreover, we plan to organize an open problem session and a discussion session that allows participants of the workshop to exchange insights and ideas on open problems that are relevant and interesting to the larger mathematics and computer science community. The workshop website is located at https://my.vanderbilt.edu/cgt2024/.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

2024年4月13日至14日，范德比尔特大学将举行“尚克斯组合学和图理论的研讨会”。研讨会的重点将放在结构图理论，极端组合，图形着色，拉姆西理论及其交叉点上。该研讨会将重点介绍这些领域的重大成就，并为研究人员提供一个平台，以分享最新的见解和工具，交流他们的工作，分享开放问题并建立新的合作。研讨会的目标是（1）将组合学和图理论的研究人员汇集在一起​​，以交流和交流思想； （2）促进参与者之间的开放问题分享和讨论； （3）使初级研究人员了解这些领域的最新发展； （4）扩大和刺激了初级，女性和代表性不足的研究人员的研究。组合学领域涉及离散设置中的问题和技术。它与数学的其他领域密切相关，并且具有许多应用程序，从进化生物学到计算机科学以及逻辑到统计物理学。图理论是组合制剂中最古老的部分之一，它与其他领域具有许多自然连接。该研讨会将有两个全体扬声器和八个早期职业扬声器。此外，我们计划组织一个开放的问题会议和讨论会议，该会议使研讨会的参与者可以就与更大的数学和计算机科学界相关且有趣的开放问题进行见解和想法。研讨会网站位于https://my.vanderbilt.edu/cgt2024/.this Award，反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估审查标准，被认为是通过评估来获得的支持。
