About

We are happy to announce that the conference Combinatorics 2026 will take place in Naples, Italy, during the week of May 25–29, 2026.

This will be the 23rd edition in the long-running "Combinatorics" conference series, held in Italy since 1981. The inaugural meeting took place in 1981, and a new edition has been organized every two years since 1982—except in 2020, when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

These conferences are organized through the joint effort of the combinatorics research groups based in Italy and have a long tradition in the Italian and international landscape of combinatorics and its applications. They have always been characterized by strong participation from many experts in the various aspects of combinatorics and combinatorial geometry from all over the world.
The aim of the Combinatorics conferences is to present recent results in pure and applied combinatorics, together with their links to geometry, algebra, designs, and graph theory, and their applications in coding, cryptography, and information theory.

Specifically, the main topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:

• Algebraic Combinatorics
• Algebraic Curves over finite fields
• Coding Theory
• Cryptography
• Design Theory
• Galois Geometries
• Graph Theory
• Incidence Structures
• Matroid Theory
• q-Analogues in Combinatorics

The last edition was held in Carovigno in 2024 and a list of all previous editions can be found here.
