  1. President’s report Mission of the ICA The ICA was established in 1990 by Ralph Stanton for the purpose of promoting the development of combinatorics and of encouraging publications and conferences in combinatorics and its applications. The three most important functions of the ICA are:     publishing the Bulletin of the ICA     supporting conferences, and     awarding medals and honorary fellowships. All three of these functions have been addressed and greatly improved in recent years, thanks to the efforts of many people ICA Executive (202012021) Doug Stinson President 2019-2022 Dalibor Froncek Vice-president 2019-2022 David Pike Vice-president 2019-2022 Kiki Ariyanti Sugeng Vice-president 2020-2023 Sarah Holliday Secretary 2019-2022 Spyros Magliveras Registrar Members of ICA Council (2020-2021) Marco Buratti 2019-2022  Darryn Bryant 2019-2022 Yeow Meng Chee 2020-2023  Jeff Dinitz 2018-2021 Dalibor Froncek 2019-2022...

  Dear Colleagues I inform that, due to the Coronavirus emergency, the organizers have decided that the Conference "Combinatorics 2021" will NOT take place 31 May - 4 June 2021. This event was already a postponed version of "Combinatorics 2020"   originally scheduled for 1-5 June 2020. The event is rescheduled for 30 May - 3 June 2022, another year ahead. The Conference will thus hopefully become a "Combinatorics 2022" at Mantua (Italy). The pandemic situation in Europe is known. The Italian Government is going back and forth with partial openings and limitations. Travelling from one region to another one is currently forbidden, unless strictly necessary. The vaccine campaign has not properly taken off yet. The Organizing Committee feels that no reasonable planning is possible for June 2021 under these circumstances. At the same time we felt that we did not want to turn this Conference into a virtual event. Whence our decision for a further postponement.
