This seminar brings together researchers at the intersection of combinatorics and algebraic geometry specifically in the areas of matroid theory, polytopes and toric varieties, and tropical geometry. The meetings will alternate between KTH Stockholm and UiO Oslo. 

The first meeting will be held in Oslo on January 26th, 2024. All talks will be held in Niels Henrik Abels Hus 108.
