Team Europe wins the International Cybersecurity Challenge 2024!
28/10/2024 — 30/10/2024
@ Santiago, Chile
Mariana Rio Costa, a LMAC student, is a member of Team Europe, the winner of his year’s edition of the International Cybersecurity Challenge (ICC) that took place from 28 October to 1 November, bringing together in Santiago, Chile, some of the best cybersecurity talent in the world to compete and test cybersecurity skills.
During the three-day event, players competed in solving complex cybersecurity puzzles, involving classic Jeopardy challenges such as cryptography, reverse engineering and web exploitation, and a competition in Attack and Defense, where players are requested to defend vulnerable services through patching while exploiting vulnerabilities of other teams and eventually steal flags. Congratulations to Team Europe and to Mariana Rio Costa, LMAC student, who is part of Team Europe.
Workshop An Ode to Geometry

@ P3.10, Mathematics Building, Alameda campus, Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa, Portugal
The workshop An Ode to Geometry, focused on the geometric structures underlying ordinary differential equations, will feature talks and discussions covering topics like symplectic geometry, D-module theory, asymptotic analysis, and stochastic analysis.
New ERASMUS Mundus Joint Masters MATHS-DISC
29/07/2024
@ Instituto Superior Técnico
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.

Applications to the Professor Jaime Campos Ferreira Prize — 2024
11/07/2024 — 23/07/2024
Applications to the 2023 Professor Jaime Campos Ferreira Prize are now open, until 5pm on July 23, 2024.
This prize was established in 2002 by the Department of Mathematics of IST with the twofold purpose of distinguishing, for academic merit in Mathematics, students at this school, and to honor Professor Jaime Campos Ferreira (1927-2016), Emeritus Professor at IST, who decisevely contributed to the creation and development of the Department and greatly stimulated the interest in Mathematics of several generations of students.
