Hugo Tavares, vice-president of the Mathematics Department, tells us about Math@Técnico.

The Lisbon Academy of Sciences elected Professor Paulo Mateus as a national corresponding member in the Section of Sciences (Information Sciences and Technologies).

The MATHS-DISC consortium, consisting of Università di Verona, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute Kiev, Universidade de Lisboa and Université Grenoble Alpes, and the partner university NTNU Trondheim, was successful with its proposal for an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) in Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Data Science together with more than 20 partners from leading industry and research centers (e. g. Siemens, Intel, Bosch, Bayer, d-fine, uRoboptics, Vodafone Ukraine, IDOM, ENGYS, Otto Bock, DLR, Terranova, NeuronsLab, Computer Solutions SA, Royal IHC, …) from different sectors and from all over Europe.

This novel EMJM will have a total budget of about 5 million Euros in funding from the European Union over six years. The program is also supported by the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) and the European Network of Mathematics for Industry and Innovation (EU-MATHS-IN) to train the PhD students of tomorrow and to establish interdisciplinary networks to share best practices at European level to overcome geographical and scientific fragmentation. 

The program is scheduled to start in the winter semester 2025/26 and applications should be possible from February 2025. For more general information about this EMJM, please contact Prof. Cláudia Nunes.

First edition of a meeting aimed at students who may be interested in an integrated PhD in Mathematics, and also at bachelor or master''''s students who would like to know about possible PhD topics in Mathematics.

The meeting will be entirely face-to-face and will consist of short presentations of research topics in Mathematics by faculty members of the Department of Mathematics of IST.
