Symmetries in Graphs, Maps and Polytopes 2026


Université Libre de Bruxelles, July 13-17, 2026

Introduction

The Symmetries in Graphs, Maps, and Polytopes Workshop (SIGMAP) is a venue for researchers interested in symmetries of discrete objects and structures. It provides opportunities to meet, share results, discuss open problems, and start new collaborations. The first SIGMAP workshop was organized by Stephen Wilson in 1998 in Flagstaff, Arizona, and has been held every four years since then, respectively in Aveiro (2002 and 2006), Oaxaca (2010), Great Malvern (2014), Morelia (2018) and Fairbanks (2022). This year, it will happen in Brussels, the capital of Europe.
