离散与组合几何是计算机科学的基础，是编码理论、组合优化理论、机器人学、计算机图形学研究的重要理论工具。随着人工智能、无线传感器网络、大数据和计算机图形图像处理技术的发展需求，这一领域日益受到欧美国家的重视。. 为推动离散与组合几何在国内的发展，项目申请人联合两位国际数学家大会45分钟报告人，即匈牙利科学院Imre Bárány院士、瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院组合几何团队主席（Chair of Combinatorial Geometry）János Pach教授共同发起，举办离散几何与凸性国际研讨会。研讨会将有来自12个国家的30多位学者，围绕离散与组合几何、凸性理论、组合数学、图论等相关领域的前沿研究进展及动态进行广泛深入交流。研讨会将致力于促进中外学者、相近领域学者之间的交流互鉴，为青年学者和研究生提供学习和开阔视野的平台，还将为海外引智工作提供有力帮助。

Discrete and combinatorial geometry lies at the foundation of computer science, and is also an important theoretical tool for cryptography, combinatorial optimization theory, robotics, and computer graphics. With the development of artificial intelligence, wireless sensor networks, big data and computer graphics image processing technology, this field is increasingly valued in both European countries and USA.. In order to promote the development of discrete and combinatorial geometry in China, the project applicants including two ICM 45-minute speakers, Imre Bárány, the academician of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and János Pach, the Chair of Combinatorial Geometry of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, co-organize an international symposium on discrete geometry and convexity. The symposium will feature more than 30 scholars from 12 countries, and conduct extensive and in-depth exchanges on the frontier research progress and dynamics of discrete and combinatorial geometry, convexity, combinatorics, graph theory and other related fields. The symposium will be dedicated to promoting exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign scholars and between scholars in similar fields, providing a platform for young scholars and graduate students to learn and broaden their horizon.
