Welcome!

Everyone with an interest in combinatorics and its applications is warmly invited to the 2024 Scottish Combinatorics Meeting, to be held at the University of St Andrews.

The invited speakers are:

• Mary Cryan (University of Edinburgh) Euler-tours of low-height toroidal grids
• Felix Fischer (Queen Mary University of London) Optimal Impartial Selection
• Nora Frankl (The Open University) Monochromatic infinite sets in Minkowski spaces
• Sergey Kitaev (University of Strathclyde) Singleton mesh patterns in multidimensional permutations
• Kitty Meeks (University of Glasgow) The search for useful temporal graph parameters
• Siaw-Lynn Ng (Royal Holloway University of London) Some connections between finite geometry and applications in information security
• John Sheekey (University College Dublin) Finite semifields and their combinatorial applications
• Jason Smith (Nottingham Trent University) Linear Extensions of Posets and an application to Neuroscience

In addition to the invited talks, we have slots available for early-career researchers in combinatorics, particularly PhD students, to give talks on their work. If you are an early-career researcher who would like to give a talk at SCM 2024, please submit a title and abstract.

We hope to be able to provide some financial support towards the attendance of early career speakers.

Attendance at the meeting is FREE, but participants are asked to register by 15/04/2024 in order to help with catering arrangements. Tea, coffee and light lunch will be provided on both days.

Dinner on the 27th has been arranged to be at Zizzi's at 19:00. Thank you to everyone who let us know at registration if they want to participate. Please remember this will be at your own cost.

The meeting will be held at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews. Information on how to get to the venue can be found here.

We look forward to welcoming you to St Andrews.
