In the fall of 2012, the CRM decided to publish extended conference abstracts originating from scientific events hosted at the center. The aim of this initiative is to quickly communicatenewachievements,contributetoafluentupdateofthestateoftheart, andenhancethescientificbenefitoftheCRMmeetings.Theextendedabstractsare publishedinthesubseriesResearchPerspectivesCRMBarcelonawithintheTrends inMathematicsseries.Volumesinthesubserieswillincludeacollectionofrevised writtenversionsofthecommunications,groupedbyevents.Contributingauthorsto this extended abstracts series remain free to use their own material as in these publicationsforotherpurposes(forexamplearevisedandenlargedpaper)without prior consent from the publisher, provided it is not identical in form and content with the original publication and provided the original source is appropriately credited.

TheEUROCOMBconferences areorganizedbiannually.Theserieswasstarted in Barcelona 2001 and continued with Prague 2003, Berlin 2005, Seville 2007, Bordeaux 2009, Budapest 2011, Pisa 2013, Bergen 2015, Viena 2017, and Bratislava2019.In2021andforthefirsttimeinhistory,EUROCOMBwillbeheld online due to the worldwide effects of COVID-19. Combinatorics is a central topic in mathematics with countless applications in other disciplines such as theoretical physics, life and social sciences, and engi- neering. Most notably, combinatorial methods have played an essential role in the theoretical analysis of algorithms. This interaction has been recently recognized with the 2021 Abel Prize awarded to Lázlo Lovász and Avi Widgerson for their contributions on discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. EUROCOMB is the reference European conference in combinatorics and one of the main events worldwide in the area. Since EUROCOMB’03 in Prague, the European Prize in combinatorics is awarded to recognize groundbreaking contri- butions in combinatorics, discrete mathematics, and their applications by young European researchers notolder than 35. It issupported by DIMATIA,by the local organizers and by private sources. EUROCOMB’21 was organized by members of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. A total of 177 contributions were submitted from which the program committee selected 135 to be presented at the conference. We would like to highlight the excellent quality of most of the submitted abstracts. In addition to the contributed presentations, the conference hosted ten plenary talks delivered by top researchers in the area on a variety of topics in extremal, proba- bilistic and structural combinatorics, and theoretical computer science. – Julia Böttcher (LSE, London) – Josep Díaz (UPC, Barcelona) v vi PrefacetotheAbstractsVolumeofEuroComb21 – Louis Esperet (G-SCOP, Grenoble) – Christian Krattenthaler (U.
