This was a very successful workshop connecting research communities working in Discrete Geometry and in Extremal Combinatorics. We had many postdocs and graduate students actively participating in the discussions. I know of at least three research programs initiated during the meeting and continued by emails after that (I'm involved in one of them). I received a lot of positive feedback from the participants. BIRS is world-wide recognized as the true Canadian research centre. I can say that its impact is comparable or even more significant than Fields or other research centres.
