Weizmann-Warwick 2023 Workshop

February 26 - March 1, 2023

Weizmann-Warwick Workshop 2023 on Combinatorial and Algorithmic Primitives for Modern Networks is taking place at the Department of Computer Science and Applied MathematicsWeizmann Institute,  February 26 - March 1, 2023.

This event is by invitation only.

The workshop is supported by the Weizmann-UK Making Connections Grant Combinatorial and Algorithmic Primitives for Modern Networks, awarded to Sayan Bhattacharya and Artur Czumaj (both at the University of Warwick), and Robert Krauthgamer and Merav Parter (both from the Weizmann Institute).
