The school offers the unique opportunity to learn about recent breakthroughs in several domains of algorithms: from classical areas like network flow algorithms and longest paths in graphs to recently emerged areas like streaming algorithms and algorithms for high dimensional data. The lectures will be taught by the leading researchers in these areas. Each of the tutorials will provide an introduction to the area and gradually bring to the current research frontiers.

The primarily audience consists of PhD students interested in Algorithms. Bright master students, postdocs, young researchers and even faculty are also very welcome.

The school is hosted by St. Petersburg Department of V.A. Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences which is located in the very center of St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg is particularly beautiful in the late spring — early summer, the white nights season. The city is surrounded by wonderful tsar parks and palaces; an excursion to one of them will be a social program of the school. Please check useful information about St. Petersburg and weather forecast before coming.
