Meetings Edit

These are courses on modern topics of algebraic geometry aimed at graduate students and researchers in algebraic geometry and neighboring areas.

This conference will address some recent developments on the classification of algebraic surfaces and will be an occasion to celebrate the 60th birthday of Margarida Mendes Lopes, whose contribution to the field and to the consolidation of the existing Portuguese algebraic geometry community has had a significant impact.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together leading experts and young researchers in the fields of mathematics and engineering to discuss recent developments in applications to material science and biology.

The goal is to bridge together analytical techniques and computational methods to shed new light on cutting edge research topics.

The 2^nd Graduate Summer School on Differential Equations will take place on 15-19 June 2015 at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon. Its main topics will be linear transport equations, dispersive equations, stochastic differential equations and asymptotic methods.

The TQFT mini-workshops address topics of current interest in Topological Quantum Field Theory and in Modern Mathematical Physics. The 2015 topic is Mathematical Aspects of Quantization.

The IST Mathematics Winter Lectures, a new series of advanced short courses by renowned mathematicians, has its first edition in 2015, with a 3 session course, Complex geometry on bounded symmetric domains and their quotient spaces, by Professor Ngaiming Mok, University of Hong Kong.

The XXIst Oporto Meeting on Geometry, Topology and Physics will take place at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal, from 4th to 7th February, 2015, with main topic Applications of Topology.

As in previous years, the meeting is focussed on minicourses given by the main speakers, supplemented by invited and contributed talks. Main speakers: Ulrich Bauer (IST Austria), Michael Farber (Queen Mary, University of London), Dmitry Feichtner-Kozlov (Universität Bremen) and Piotr Sulkowski (University of Warsaw and California Institute of Technology).

Sessions take place in Amphithetre Ea1 of the North Tower (February 4 to 6) and in Amphithetre Va3 of the Civil Engineering Building on February 7, both in the Alameda campus of IST.

The mathematical modelling of physiological problems leads to complex systems of PDEs and to computational challenges related to their heterogeneous and multiscale nature. This requires highly integrated and efficient numerical algorithms and high performance computing techniques for their simulation.

This workshop brings together leading experts and young researchers and its main goal is to promote national and international exchange of recent developments in the analysis and numerical simulation of PDEs, and its applications with particular emphasis to biomedical problems.

The main objective for this meeting is to create links between recognized researchers in Non-Linear Analysis and young researchers.

On top of discussing recent developments in this area our aim is to nurture an environment conducting to the development of future research projects.

The IST-IME meetings are organized biennially by the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST-Lisbon) and the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística (IME) of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP). The broad purpose of the meetings is to promote the interaction of researchers from both institutes among themselves and with researchers from other institutions. The main topics of the event will be ordinary and partial differential equations. For this edition we are also organizing a workshop on sympletic geometry.

This edition will be held at Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME-USP) of the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and honours Professor Orlando Lopes.
