Preface

FPSAC 2024 was held in Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Bochum (Germany) July 22-26, 2024.

It is our pleasure to have served as program committee co-chairs for FPSAC 2024. In this volume, you will find the extended abstracts for the accepted talks and posters, and in addition a tribute to the life and works of Ian G. Macdonald whose memory was honored by Arun Ram. Together these represent the rich program of the conference.

As co-chairs, we were deeply impressed by the exceptional quality and depth of the submissions, and the compelling talks and presentations by the participants. Such an event only comes together with the work of a dedicated community, and we wish to thank them now. We are grateful to the invited speakers and the participant contributors for bringing cutting edge research in combinatorics to the forefront. The members of the program committee and their secondary reviewers were an essential part of a careful review process, and considered a record number (225) of submissions. This work is difficult, and the high quality of the conference is reliant upon the generous work of these colleagues.

It is a significant logistical task to bring together such a diverse international community. Christian Stump and the organizing committee were meticulous in their organization, considering many small details. The quality of this volume would not have been possible without the work of the proceedings editor, Christian Gaetz.

Such an event relies on significant external funding to remain accessible. We also gratefully acknowledge our sponsors including:
