Apart from a scientific semester programme CWI organizes mini-symposia, masterclasses, lectures with renowned speakers, hackathons and data challenges. Additionally, we organize and host other regular scientific meetings like reading groups, seminars, collaboration sessions and open-problem sessions. The format is flexible to meet the preferences of the participants.

How can we understand the underlying structure of a large-scale network? What local constraints impact the running time of an algorithm? In recent years physics intuition has become fruitful in tackling such questions. Key to this is the notion of a phase transition, that is, a drastic change in macroscopic behaviour (e.g. matter changing from frozen to liquid at some critical temperature) in models governed by local interactions. We aim to connect different communities –combinatorics, algorithms and probability– through the lens of such transitions. This will be achieved through three interactive 4-day workshops focused on problem-solving and collaboration.
