[edit] Aim and membership
The ICA aims to increase the visibility and the influence of the combinatorial community. It has over 750 members in over forty countries. Membership in the ICA is at three levels. Graduate members are those who have not yet completed a Ph.D. Associate Fellows have received the Ph.D., or have published extensively; normally an Associate Fellow will hold the rank of Assistant Professor. Fellows are established scholars and will typically have the rank of Associate Professor or higher. Some members are involved in highly theoretical research, there are members whose primary interest lies in education and instruction, and there are members who are heavily involved in the applications of combinatorics in statistical design, communications theory, cryptography, computer security, and a host of other practical areas.
[edit] Publication
The ICA publishes the Bulletin of the ICA (ISSN 1183-1278), a journal that combines publication of survey papers and research papers with news of members and accounts of future and past conferences.
[edit] Medals
The ICA awards the Euler Medals for distinguished career contributions to combinatorics. These medals provide recognition for a lifetime contribution to combinatorial research.
The ICA has inaugurated the Hall Medals, named after Marshall Hall, Jr., to recognize outstanding achievements by members who are not over age 40.
The ICA has set up the Kirkman Medals to recognize outstanding achievements by members who are within four years of their Ph.D. These medals are awarded on the basis of a solid body of published research.
