The conference will take place on Queen Mary's Mile End Campus, which is located between Stepney Green and Mile End tube stations.
Participants will be responsible for their travel and accommodation arrangements, and are encouraged to book early to minimise cost and avoid disappointment.
Options for budget accommodation include the following. They have not been inspected or endorsed by the conference.
Limited funding is available to support travel and accommodation of participants based in a developing country, junior participants (within 5 years of their PhD and not holding a permanent or tenure-track position), and UK-based PhD students.
To apply for support, please send and email titled 'Request for financial support' to bcc-2024@qmul.ac.uk and include a short CV, including a list of publications; in the case of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, a letter of support from the supervisor. Please also include an estimate of your costs and a statement that you do not have access to alternative funding to cover these costs.
The deadline for applications is 31st March, 2024. Funding decisions will be communicated well ahead of the registration deadline. Late applications will only be considered should funds remain unspent.
To receive support, participants must pay the registration fee and give a contributed talk at the conference.
We expect many participants to arrive on Sunday evening. The academic schedule will run from 9am on Monday until 5pm on Friday.
We are grateful for financial support from the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research, the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications, the London Mathematical Society, and the British Combinatorial Committee. The conference is organised in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute.
The principal organisers are Felix Fischer and Robert Johnson.
