SPECIAL VOLUME OF THE SLC
On the occasion of this jubilee, we shall edit a special issue of
the Séminaire
Lotharingien de Combinatoire.
The deadline for submission will be June 30, 2005. The papers will
be read by two experts before publication.
Everybody is invited to submit a paper.
EUROPEAN NETWORK
The Seminar will shelter the activities of the European Network on
"Algebraic Combinatorics", consisting of the teams from the Universities
of Bordeaux, Jerusalem, Lyon, Linköping, Marburg,
Marne-la-Vallée, Roma,
Stockholm and Wien. It is expected that members of the
network will report on their latest research activities.
ACCOMMODATION
Participants will be housed in the Maison Saint-Bernard in double
rooms or in single rooms. The rates will be roughly
60 Euros (board and lodging) per person (per day). It will be a bit more
on a single occupancy basis, a bit less on a double occupancy basis.
