Travel

We invite all participants to Combinatorics 2022 to check carefully what restrictions might apply before travelling to Italy due to the consequences of the ongoing pandemic. It is their duty to procure themselves all documentation needed in order to be able to enter the country and attend public meetings and conference here. As the regulations are in flux, we recommend to check frequently what might be required. Some information is available on the following web page of the Italian Ministry of Health.
