About FCT 2027
The International Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory (FCT) is a biennial forum for researchers interested in all aspects of theoretical computer science, in particular in algorithms, complexity, and formal and logical methods. FCT was established in 1977 and this will be the 26th edition of the symposium.
FCT 2027 will be hosted by the Department of Computers and Information Technology (DCTI), University of Craiova, Romania, and organized by conference co-chairs Adrian Dumitrescu, Costin Bădică, and Alexandru Popa. FCT has been held in Romania only once before, in 1999 — FCT 2027 marks its return to the country after almost three decades.
