<div class="tex2jax_process">The CIMPA School on Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics will take place from July 19–30, 2027 at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. The school aims to introduce graduate students and early-career researchers to modern developments in enumerative and algebraic combinatorics and their connections to other areas of mathematics and computer science.

The main focus of the school will be the mathematics around the L-functions and modular forms database (LMFDB). It will introduce the students to the main ideas and philosophies around modularity theorems, which connect algebraic curves and abelian varieties on one side with modular forms and L-functions on the other. Theoretically, such ideas are part of the Langlands program; the LMFDB can be seen as a way to make this program accessible and concrete by means of a huge treasure trove of examples.
