The Prize is named in honor of Anil Nerode in recognition of his major contributions to mathematical logic, theory of automata, computability, and complexity theory. IPEC 2025 will take place as part of ALGO 2025 on 17–19 September 2025 at University of Warsaw in Warsaw, Poland.

Archived webpages of seminars, workshops, and schools
I moved some of old webpages of seminars, workshops, and winter schools to the Github pages. KAIST Discrete Math Seminar Previous URL: mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~sangil/seminar/ New URL: https://sangiloum.github.io/seminar/ This contains the abstracts of all KAIST Discrete Math Seminars from 2008 to sometime in 2019. It is currently continued on the website of the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group.
