 The semester of Mathematics and Computer Science of Market and Mechanism Design August 21, 2023 to December 20, 2023 at Berkeley will lead off with two introductory sessions:

Connections Workshop: Mathematics and Computer Science of Market and Mechanism Design  September 07, 2023 - September 08, 2023

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: AUGUST 18, 2023

TO APPLY FOR FUNDING YOU MUST REGISTER BY: MAY 17, 2023

Organizers Michal Feldman (Tel-Aviv University), LEAD Nicole Immorlica (Microsoft Research)

"The Connections Workshop will consist of invited talks from leading researchers at all career stages in the field of market design.  Particular attention will be paid to real-world applications.  There will also be an AMA focused on career paths with highly visible individuals in the field, and a social event intended to help workshop attendees network with each other."

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: AUGUST 25, 2023  TO APPLY FOR FUNDING YOU MUST REGISTER BY: MAY 21, 2023  

Organizers Scott Kominers (Harvard Business School), Paul Milgrom (Stanford University), Alvin Roth (Stanford University), Eva Tardos (Cornell University)

"The workshop  will  open  with  overview/perspective  talks  on  algorithmic  game  theory  and  the theory and practice of market design; the afternoon will feature a panel on active research areas in the field (again, at the overview level). The next 2 days will consist of introductory mini-course and tutorials, on topics such as game theory, matching, auctions, and mechanism design. The following day will focus on applicable tools and technology, such as lattice theory, limit methods, continuous optimization, and extremal graph theory. The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion on major open problems."
