Meeting n°3355 — CIRM Marseille — September-October 2025
From 29th September 2025 to 3rd October 2025, the 5th edition of the CANT school will take place at CIRM in Marseille, France.
CANT is an acronym for Combinatorics, Automata, and Number Theory.
The first two editions of the school were held in Liège (Belgium) in 2006 and 2009 and brought together 100 and 60 participants respectively.
The last two editions both took place at CIRM (Marseille, France) in 2012 and 2016 and welcomed around 100 participants from all over the world.

For who?
CANT is meant to be an international school and an international conference at the same time. To reach these complementary goals, high quality of international recognition are selected. Due to their scientific and pedagogical skills, we expect that they will draw a wide audience including PhD students and young researchers as well as "senior" researchers.
What's in?
We will propose 6 courses (3 hours each), supplemented by 30-minute presentations, a poster session, and, if we can, free time to encourage scientific discussions and collaborations.
The invited speakers are listed here and the main topics are
- Symbolic dynamics
- Algorithmics and calculability
- Formal language and automata theory
- Combinatorics on words
- Number theory
- Tilings
- Combinatorial group theory
- Softwares for these topics (e.g., SageMath, Diddy, Walnut, Pecan)
