Friday, 23 June 2023 More than 330 mathematicians in Kranjska Gora for the 10th Slovenian international conference on graph theory

This week, the “10th Slovenian international conference on graph theory”, also known as the "the Bled conference", took place in Kranjska Gora for the tenth time.

This was already the 10th edition of the international conference, which takes place every four years, and this year it was once again one of the world's largest events in the field of graph theory. From the very beginning, conference organizers have been the most prominent Slovenian researchers in the field of graph theory: prof. Tomaž Pisanski, prof. Dragan Marušič, prof. Bojan Mohar and prof. Sandi Klavžar. The main organizer of this year's conference was UM FNM (University of Maribor, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics), which cooperated with IMFM (Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Mechanics), UP (University of Primorska), UM (University of Maribor) and company Abelium d. o. o.

Over 330 mathematicians participated at the conference. Increasing number of participants is the proof that the Slovene international conference has become one of the most important global conferences in the field of graph theory, which has repeatedly attracted established researchers and prospective young doctoral and postdoctoral students from around the world. It is offering a platform, where they can exchange the most important findings and insight into the most current problems in the field of graph theory.

During the conference, more than 300 lectures were offered, of which 11 were plenary lectures delivered by top mathematicians from all over the world. Among them were also recipients of the most prestigious mathematical awards.

Plenary speakers:

  • Csilla Bujtás, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
  • Zdeněk Dvořák, Charles University, Czech Republic
  • Michel Lavrauw, University of Primorska, Slovenia
  • Karen Meagher, University of Regina, Canada
  • Torsten Mütze, University of Warwick, United Kingdom
  • Dieter Rautenbach, Ulm University, Germany
  • Gordon Royle, University of Western Australia
  • Pablo Spiga, University of Milano--Bicocca, Italy
  • Edwin R. van Dam, Tilburg University, Netherlands
  • David Wood, Monash University, Australia
  • Anders Yeo, University of Southern Denmark

Next week, June 26, the traditional and 11th International Doctoral Summer School from Discrete Mathematics starts in Koper. 95 mathematicians applied, among them both university professors and researchers as well as doctoral students. The summers school offers another important platform for connecting young people and experienced mathematicians.
