Programme

• Videos of the two keynote addresses can be found here.

• A two-page summary of the programme can be found here. Hyperlinks open the abstracts, slides and videos.

• A single document that includes all the abstracts can be found here.

• Permutation patterns: basic definitions and notation can be found here.

All workshop activities will take place online. Registered participants will receive a Zoom link for the sessions, along with links to the pre-recorded keynote addresses so they can be watched asynchronously.

There will be four sessions on both days. During Sessions A, B and D (one hour), six speakers will each give a five minute presentation and then take questions. During Session C (thirty minutes), one of the keynote speakers will give a 10–15 minute summary of their address, followed by an opportunity for discussion. The full pre-recorded keynote address will be streamed online during the break immediately prior to Session C for the benefit of those who weren’t able to watch it earlier.

The synchronous sessions will take place during the late afternoon and evening in Europe. Here are the times in some other locations.

Abstract Submission

All participants are invited to submit an abstract on a topic related to the conference and give a 5–10 minute presentation (further details will be provided after the programme has been finalised).

To submit an abstract, please prepare it according to the instructions given in the template: [link to LaTeX file, link to PDF file] and email both the LaTeX file and the PDF file to pp2021workshop@gmail.com by 31st May. We will aim to notify you regarding the acceptance of your abstract within a few days of submission. Thanks.

When preparing your abstract and talk, you should assume as common knowledge everything in this document: Permutation patterns: basic definitions and notation.

All contributed work will be presented as short (5–10 minute) talks, with slides shared online in advance of the workshop. The synchronous part of the workshop will allow speakers on similar themes to participate in conversation, together with anyone else interested in joining them.

Proceedings

A special issue of Enumerative Combinatorics and Applications (ECA) has been published to mark the conference. It is ECA Volume 2 Issue 4, which can be found at http://ecajournal.haifa.ac.il/#journal-archive.
