The workshop continues the tradition of Prague Combinatorial Workshops held since 1993. Focusing on problems of all fields of graph theory, combinatorics and discrete geometry, it will continue in the spirit and informal working atmosphere of the previous meetings.

The workshop takes place at DIMATIA and the Department of Applied Mathematics of Charles University, Malostranske namesti 25, Prague 1, located in a historic building in the center of Old Prague. The workshop is also supported by the Computer Science Institute of Charles University.
