Explain Like I’m 5: A Mathematical Adventure with Soap Bubbles

13/05/2026 10:00

@ Salão Nobre

In the special session of the Explica-me como se tivesse 5 anos series our colleague Hugo Tavares (CAMGSD/Department of Mathematics) will lecture on a fun and fascinating question: Why are soap bubbles round?.

This talk is aimed at curious minds of all ages, especially younger ones. Through playful experiments with soap films, Hugo will show how geometric forms like circles and hexagons are often the best solution for some beautiful geometric problems from the natural world, from bubbles to beehives. Don''''t miss this chance to see the beauty of mathematics in action and discover why some shapes are perfectly suited for what they do. All are welcome!

International Workshop on Stochastic Dynamics, Interacting Particle Systems and Applications

15/06/2026 — 19/06/2026

@ Instituto Superior Técnico

This workshop brings together leading researchers working on stochastic processes, interacting particle systems, and their wide-ranging applications in mathematics, physics, and beyond. Organized as part of the LiBERA midterm workshop under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Staff Exchanges (project no. 101183168LiBERA), it offers a unique opportunity for cross-disciplinary exchange at the interface of analysis, probability, mathematical physics, numerics and applications.

The program features 26 talks showcasing the latest results and innovative applications, providing a platform for lively discussions and knowledge sharing.

  • Deadline for submission of contributions: 28 February 2026.
  • Registration: free of charge, but mandatory by 31 March 2026.

Local organizers: Gerardo Barrera Vargas, Patrícia Gonçalves and Tiecheng Xu.

XII International Meeting on Lorentzian Geometry
