    Description:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Finite geometry and finite fields play a central role in contemporary coding theory, providing powerful tools for the construction and analysis of error-correcting codes. In particular, Galois geometries offer a natural framework in which the algebraic and<\/span>
    \n combinatorial properties of codes can be studied and exploited.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This special session aims to explore these deep connections by highlighting recent developments and by providing a contemporary perspective on their role in the advancement of coding theory and combinatorics. A central goal is to show how<\/span>
    \n these structures serve not merely as technical tools, but as a structural setting that connects different families of codes, including linear codes, rank-metric codes and subspace codes, as well as to illustrate how geometric methods are linked to<\/span>
    \n applications in data storage and network coding.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We wish to invite contributions presenting recent results and developments, including but not limited to the following topics:<\/span><\/p>\n
