GRK 588: Combinatorics, Geometry, and Computation

这个欧洲研究培训小组以一种跨学科的方式结合了离散数学和计算机科学的各个方面。它的科学计划范围从更多的理论领域，如组合学和离散几何，到应用领域，如计算机图形学或地理信息系统。该程序分为四个基本研究领域：组合学、几何学、最优化和算法与计算。在这些领域中的每一个领域，该计划中至少有一个合作伙伴是国际知名的专业知识中心。博士生有可能获得这四个领域的知识，特别是在他们学习的第二年，通过在合作大学长期停留(6-12个月)。主要合作伙伴“柏林”和“苏黎世”之间的现有合作将由比利时、英国、荷兰、波兰、捷克共和国和匈牙利的其他合作伙伴机构扩展。

This European research training group combines in an interdisciplinaryfashion aspects of discrete mathematics and computer science. Itsscientific program ranges from more theoretical areas likecombinatorics and discrete geometry to application areas like computergraphics or geographic information systems. The program is subdividedinto four basic research areas: combinatorics, geometry, optimization,and algorithms and computation. In each of these areas at least one ofthe partners in the program is an internationally renowned center ofexpertise. Ph.D. students have the possiblity to gain knowledge ineach of the four areas, particularly also through a long term stay(6-12 months) at a partner university during the second year of theirstudies. The existing cooperation between the main partners "Berlin"and "Zurich" will be extended by other partner institutes in Belgium,Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, andHungary.
