Graphs in Geometry and Algorithms (EuroGIGA)

EuroGIGA is a framework that combines four multinational Collaborative Research Projects (CRPs) within the EUROCORES (EUROpean COllaborative RESearch) program of the European Science Foundation (ESF):

Combinatorics of point sets and arrangements of objects (ComPoSe)
Spacial decompositions and graphs (VORONOI)
Graph drawings and representations (GraDR)
Geometric representations and symmetries of graphs, maps and other discrete structures and applications in science (GReGAS)

Each Collaborative Research Project combines individual projects (IP) and associated partners (AP, without funding through the ESF) from different countries.

Kickoff Session on June 12, 2011, at the Symposium on Computational Geometry in Paris.

Before the welcome reception of the 27th Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2011, June 13–15), there will be an open session in which the CRPs will present themselves to the interested public and to the Computational Geometry community in particular.

Time: Sunday, June 12, 2011, 17:00–18:00
Location: UIC-P congress center, room 203, 16 rue Jean Rey, in the 15th district, Paris, France, in view of the Eiffel Tower.
