SEG Workshop

This page is about the Southeastern Germany Group Workshop on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Algorithms.

32nd workshop on June 16, 2026, in Mittweida

We are pleased to announce that the 32nd SEG Workshop will take place in Mittweida on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. Interested participants are kindly asked to register by email at mlange1@hs-mittweida.de. We warmly encourage all participants to present a talk on their current research (approximately 20 minutes).

  • Venue: Bahnhofstr. 32b, 09648 Mittweida
  • Time: 14:30–19:00

After the workshop, we’ll have a relaxed get-together on site for about two hours. Food and drinks will be provided. No fees will be charged.

Background

The SEG Workshop is an established academic event in the field of discrete mathematics, particularly in graph theory, combinatorics, and algorithms. It provides researchers, lecturers, and students with a platform to present and discuss current results, methodological developments, and open questions in a collegial setting.

The workshop’s regional roots are already reflected in its name: SEG stands for the Southeastern Germany Group. This academic community brings together, in particular, research groups in discrete mathematics at the universities of Chemnitz, Dresden, Freiberg, Ilmenau, Jena, Leipzig, and Mittweida. The workshop thus serves as a regional forum for scholarly exchange within Saxony’s mathematical research landscape and the neighboring regions.

In its orientation, the SEG Workshop is inspired, albeit on a much smaller scale, by the Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory & Computing, which takes place annually in Florida. It was there that the then founding members of the SEG Workshop came together and developed the idea of establishing a regular regional venue for academic exchange in discrete mathematics.

The workshop focuses on research talks, academic discussion, and personal interaction. Especially in a field such as discrete mathematics, where structural, combinatorial, and algorithmic questions are closely interwoven, the workshop provides an ideal setting for presenting new research approaches and maintaining cross-institutional contacts.
