News and Events

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.

The book Introdução à Geometria by professors Leonor Godinho and Margarida Mendes Lopes was published by IST Press. Its public introcution by  Professor Miguel Abreu is scheduled for June 18, 05:30pm, in the Civil Engineering Museum at Técnico.

Revisiting the Role of Mathematicians in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

The purpose of the Mathematics Syposium series is to have some of the leading world mathematicians, computer scientists and statisticians discussing their work and views on a topic. Presentations should, as much as possible, be aimed at a broad mathematical audience, including students.

Poster

This online international workshop brings together experts in quantum gravity, string theory and machine learning to stimulate collaborative discussions and exchange of ideas on the latest developments and results in the field.

Organizers: Gabriel Lopes Cardoso (IST, Lisbon), Yang-Hui He (LIMS & Merton College, Oxford), Suresh Nampuri (IST, Lisbon)
