European Prize in Combinatorics
The European Prize of Combinatorics 2017 was awarded to Christian Reiher (Univ. Hamburg) for his profound result in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, particularly for his solution of the Kemnitz conjecture on lattice points and the Lovasz-Simonovits clique density problem and to Maryna Viazovska (EPFL) for her deep contributions to spherical designs and particularly for the solution of the sphere packing problem in dimensions 8 and 24.
The prize ceremony took place at the TU Wien at the Opening of the Eurocomb 2017 conference on August 28, 2017. Both prize winners gave a prize lecture on August 30 as part of the Eurocomb conference. The award of 2500 EURO for 2017 is founded with contributions of DIMATIA, local organizers and Elsevier.
Eurocomb Proceedings are published in ENDM
The proceedings for Eurocomb 2017 are already published in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, Volume 61.
Eurocomb participants will receive a USB stick with all contributions in pdf-format at Eurocomb registration.
Eurocomb Programme is online
The Programme of Eurocomb 2017 is now online. We have 9 plenary speakers, 2 prize lectures and 140 contributed talks.
Besides that there is a Reception in the Town Hall of Vienna, a Concert, City Excursions and a Conference Dinner at a Heurigen.

Call for submissions
The submission of extended abstracts for Eurocomb 2017 is now open.
Submission should have: A title, a list of authors with affiliations, a brief summary,
and a main body (in total up to 5 pages in A4) describing recent original theoretical results or applications of Combinatorics and Graph Theory.
They should be submitted as a pdf file using the interface provided on EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurocomb2017) by March 15th, 2017.
There is no prescribed template.
There will be a volume of Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, ENDM, which will publish all accepted abstracts of the conference.
European Prize in Combinatorics
Continuing with the tradition established at EuroComb’03 in Prague the European Prize in Combinatorics will be awarded during the conference EuroComb 2017. The prize is established to recognize excellent contributions in Combinatorics, Discrete Mathematics and their Applications by young European researchers (eligibility of EU) not older than 35. The prize carries a monetary award of 2500 Euro. The nomination letter including CV and the list of publications of the nominee must be sent to the organizers of EUROCOMB’17 before April 15, 2017. The nominations will be evaluated by an
international jury. The award of 2500 EURO for 2015 is founded with contributions of DIMATIA, local organizers and Elsevier B.V.
