Call for Nominations for Scientific Directorship in Algorithms and Complexity at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics

The Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken is seeking nominations for the position of Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society and Director of the Institute. The founding director, Kurt Mehlhorn, will be retiring in the next three years, and the Institute is looking for a new scientific director for the algorithms and complexity department. (More precisely, Kurt Mehlhorn will step down as Director on the day a new director joins. He will stay on as a researcher at the Institute.)

ICALP 2017 - Call for Workshop Proposals

July 10-13, Warsaw, Poland

Workshops affiliated with ICALP 2017 will be held on July 14-16 (after the main conference).
We invite proposals of workshops related to any of the three tracks of ICALP, as well as other areas of theoretical computer science.
In order to submit a proposal, get in touch with us by sending an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We will close submissions on November 30.
Before contacting us, think about the format of the workshop and your expectations. A rough estimate of the cost for a single participant is 50 EUR per day, including lunch and two coffee breaks.
Because of the limited capacity of the conference venue, we might not be able to accept all proposals.
