Highlights Extended Stay Support Scheme

The HESSS is an incentive for collaborations between participants of the conference and researchers working in research groups reachable by train from the conference location. The objective is to foster interactions with low carbon footprint. The mechanism is as follows:

  • Research groups willing to participate in the scheme will be listed on the webpage. These groups are offering to fund collaborations between HIGHLIGHTS'25 participants and their members.
  • The pair of a HIGHLIGHTS'25 participant and a member of a listed research group submit a proposal, which takes the form of an email containing names, period of collaboration, and a sentence describing the planned activity. It has to be sent to the HESSS contact person of the research unit.
  • The decision of acceptance is up to the research group. In particular, it may be subject to scientific scope, number of requests, or e.g., favouring distant participants.
  • The only strict rule is that the visit should be around HIGHLIGHTS'25, and no airplane should be taken by the visitor to travel from HIGHLIGHTS'25 to the visit location.

Workshops

25th Max Planck Advanced Course on the Foundations of Computer Science

The goal of this year's ADFOCS is to educate people with a TCS background on recent advances in graph decomposition techniques and their use in designing efficient algorithms. The focus of the summer school will be on the following topics:

  • Structure theory for graph classes with forbidden induced subgraphs and designing efficient algorithms on such graphs (Maria Chudnovsky)
  • Structural Sparsity and efficient algorithms for First-Order model checking (Michał Pilipczuk)
  • Expander decompositions and their variants, and their applications to design (near) linear-time algorithms (Thatchaphol Saranurak)
