Join us to meet, learn, and build the community around algorithmic game theory in socioeconomics.
DYCOSAGT Kick-off Meeting
The DYCOSAGT (Dynamics and Combinatorial Structures in Algorithmic Game Theory) project will officially kick off on September 9, 2026, with an online meeting of its international partners.
DYCOSAGT, a closely connected partner project of AGATE coordinated by Martin Loebl, brings together researchers from Europe, Israel, Canada and the United States. The kick-off will introduce the partners and open discussion on research ideas and the next steps of the project.

AIM 271: Art in Mathematics
A Divine Signature in Numbers
The Agate Centre invites you to a lecture by Karel Janeček, exploring surprising mathematical structures arising from the numbers 12, 21, 37 and 73, their connection to the exceptional number 271 and the fine-structure constant.
The lecture will conclude with a philosophical reflection on mathematics, beauty and the hidden structures of reality.
The lecture will be in English.

Civil Society and Communication
May 12, 2026

Duel 2026: Is Human Communication Algorithmic?
April 27, 2026
Two perspectives, one fundamental question:
Is human communication something uniquely human, or can it be understood — and perhaps even replicated — as a process that machines can perform?
Olga Lomová (sinologist):
NO — “No, because a human being is not a machine.”
Lenka Zdeborová (physicist and AI researcher):
YES — “We can now realize it beyond the human.”
The debate was organized by Martin Loebl on behalf of the Learned Society of the Czech Republic, in cooperation with Agate Centre at Charles University.
A video recording of the event is available online.
1st Agate Workshop – Agate Fest
What is new in algorithmic game theory
and socioeconomics?
Join us at the 1st AGATE Workshop,
where researchers present recent results on voting rules, Nash equilibria, fair division,
and the minimax property in infinite games.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A PARADOX MADE YOU THINK?
Thinking has allowed us to master the world —
precisely because we reflect on when not to trust it.
