This volume contains eight survey articles by the invited speakers of
the 29th British Combinatorial Conference, held at Lancaster University
in July 2022. Each article provides an overview of recent developments
in a current hot research topic in combinatorics. These topics span
graphs and hypergraphs, Latin squares, linear programming, finite
fields, extremal combinatorics, Ramsey theory, graph minors and tropical
geometry. The authors are among the world's foremost researchers on
their respective topics but their surveys are aimed at nonspecialist
readers: they are written clearly with little prior knowledge assumed
and with pointers to the wider literature. Taken together these surveys
give a snapshot of the research frontier in contemporary combinatorics,
making the latest developments accessible to researchers and graduate
students in mathematics and theoretical computer science with an
interest in combinatorics and helping them to keep abreast of the field.
