The midterm meeting will take place on Monday May 28. It will consist of two sessions:

1. Morning session (management part): This session is available only to members of the CONNECT project.
2. Afternoon session (scientific part): This session is available to both members of the CONNECT project and participants of the CONNECT workshop.

Rooms:

  • All plenary sessions will take place in the Aula 1.
  • Working in groups will take place in rooms Pol1 and Pol2.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from Discrete Mathematics, Computational Geometry, and related areas, to study geometric and computational problems on networks, which are proposed by organizers and participants. The workshop is held within the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 734922 and within the Intensive Research Program in Discrete, Combinatorial and Computational Geometry.
The proposed topics are grouped into four work packages:

Work Package 1: Geometric Networks
Work Package 2: Stochastic Geometry and Networks
Work Package 3: Restricted orientation geometry
Work Package 4: Graph-based algorithms for UAVs and for MIR

The workshop is open to external researchers and especially attendants of the Intensive Research Program in Discrete, Combinatorial and Computational Geometry are kindly invited.

All coffee breaks and lunches are open to all participants.
