Objective
The training that will be offered is on the one hand in the various aspects of Algebraic Combinatorics and related fields. Furthermore, special training is provided in mastering modern computing techniques, and in implementing them for the benefit of mathematical progress. The training programme of the proposed network is articulated in two key actions: the ACE Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships, and the Summer Schools. The network contract will finance predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships for a total of 252 person-months. These will be highly competitive fellowships. Predoctoral Fellowships will be for 6 months, renewable up to a maximum of 4 months total. Postdoctoral fellowships will be for 12 months, renewable up to a maximum of 36 months total. Three summer schools will be organized during the duration of the network contract. Each one will last two weeks and will have two main lecturers. We expect the summer school to be attended by a group of probably 10-20 Ph.D. students and postdoctorals.
