European Prize in Combinatorics

Last updated

The European Prize in Combinatorics is a prize for research in combinatorics, a mathematical discipline, which is awarded biennially at Eurocomb, the European conference on combinatorics, graph theory, and applications. [1] The prize was first awarded at Eurocomb 2003 in Prague. [2] Recipients must not be older than 35. The most recent prize was awarded at Eurocomb 2023 in Prague.
