7 Sep 2026 - 11 Sep 2026
Organised by: The Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO, Oberwolfach Research Institute for Mathematics) 

Program Description:
Combinatorics is a vibrant and rapidly evolving field of mathematics, with significant interdisciplinary applications in areas such as network analysis and digital structures. This workshop will specifically focus on Probabilistic and Extremal Combinatorics, with a particular emphasis on Ramsey numbers and phase transitions. These topics have seen important recent advances and continue to be areas of active research and exploration within the combinatorial community.

Innovations and Challenges in Extremal Combinatorics

NUS IMS Event on Extremal Combinatorics

Part I – Tutorial (Jul 27 to Jul 31, 2026)
The first week will follow the format of a summer school. Three tracks of tutorial lectures on emerging themes in Extremal Combinatorics will be given by leading research mathematicians in their respective areas. The aim is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the background, motivation, previous techniques, and the recent developments in the respective topic — goals that are usually quite challenging to achieve in a typical one-hour seminar talk. The target audience will be Ph.D. students and junior researchers. More details of the tutorials will be updated on this page.

Part II – Workshop (Aug 3 to Aug 7, 2026)
The second week of this program will be a by-invitation-only research workshop, held in a more traditional style, similar to the one-week programs at Banff, Oberwolfach or Mittag-Leffler. Esteemed experts and emerging researchers in Extremal Combinatorics will come together to present recent breakthroughs and work on open problems.

2D1N R&F Mall/Komtar/City Square Trip 22 to 23 June

Booked this nice and cosy apartment at Princess Cove Phase 2, about 10-minute walking distance from CIQ/JB Sentral. Or you can take a free shuttle bus from JB Sentral Bus Interchange to R&F Mall, and walk 2 minutes to the apartment entrance. It is also linked to R&F Mall Level 3 via a link bridge at Level 8.  I would highly recommend it, there are also plenty of facilities within the condo. You can find it in Booking.com or Airbnb or search B2133A09 in other booking platforms such as Trip.com or Agoda.

Watched Dear You at R&F Mall Womei Theatre. RM12 for seniors above 60, RM19 for adults.
