Mathematics and Computer Science in Practice: Potential and Reality
Institute of Information Theory and Automation CAS, Institute of Computer Science CAS and Institute of Mathematics CAS organize an interdisciplinary workshop with the aim to discuss about the productive power of mathematics in real world applications. Experts from economically active companies, universities, and specialized research institutions will share their positive and negative experience about how mathematics has been, can be, ought to be, and should not be used to enhance social and economic progress in the 21th century. Special attention will be paid to examples of good and bad practice in applied mathematics.
The workshop will be held on 9–11 December 2015 at the Institute of Information Theory and Automation CAS in Prague.
125 years of the Czech Academies of Sciences (and Arts)
On Friday, 23rd January, 125 years had passed since the foundation of the Czech Academy of Emperor Franz Josef I for Sciences, Literature and Art (ČAVU), the predecessor of today’s the Czech Academy of Sciences. This significant jubilee will be commemorated by the Czech Academy of Sciences with several ceremonial events, exhibitions and lectures throughout 2015 - see the attached schedule of events (in Czech).
Schedule of events
Dny otevřených dveří v Matematickém ústavu AV ČR | Open Houses in the Institute of Mathematics CAS
Tradiční Dny otevřených dveří v Matematickém ústavu AV ČR jsou součástí Týdne vědy a techniky Akademie věd ČR, nejrozsáhlejšího vědeckého festivalu v České republice pořádaného Akademií věd ČR ve spolupráci s dalšími institucemi ve dnech 1.–15. listopadu 2015. Široká veřejnost a především studenti středních škol mají možnost nahlédnout do pracoven, laboratoří a knihoven a poznat, jak se dělá věda. Badatelé z výzkumných pracovišť AV ČR připravují širokou nabídku exkurzí, přednášek, výstav a diskusních večerů, ve kterých představují své výzkumné projekty, předvádějí nejmodernější vědecké přístroje a experimenty a přibližují návštěvníkům nejnovější trendy v oblasti vědy. V Matematickém ústavu AV ČR se Dny otevřených dveří uskuteční na pražském pracovišti ve dnech 4.–6. listopadu 2015, v brněnské pobočce 11. listopadu 2015.
Traditional Open Houses in the Institute of Mathematics CAS will be held as part of the Week of Science and Technology, the most extensive scientific festival in the Czech Republic, organized by the Czech Academy of Sciences in cooperation with other institutions from 1st to 15th November 2015. The scientists from the research workplaces of the Academy of Sciences prepare a wide offer of lectures, presentations, panel discussions, seminars, excursions, exhibitions and discussion evenings, in which they present their research projects, the most modern scientific apparatuses and outline for the attendees the latest trends in the areas of science in the Czech Republic and the world. The Prague departments in the Institute of Mathematics will be open to public from 4th to 6th November 2015, the Brno branch on 11th November 2015.

Conference Applications of Mathematics 2015
In honor of the birthday anniversaries of Ivo Babuška (90), Milan Práger (85), and Emil Vitásek (85)
Wednesday, 18 November 2015 to Saturday, 21 November 2015 in the main lecture hall of the Institute of Mathematics CAS
Professors Ivo Babuška, Milan Práger, and Emil Vitásek are renowned experts in numerical analysis and computational methods. Their fruitful scientific careers started in Prague, in the Institute of Mathematics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (now Czech Academy of Sciences). They collaborated there on various projects including the computational analysis of the construction technology for the gravitational Orlík Dam on the Vltava River in Bohemia (1956-1959). In 1966 they published their joint book entitled Numerical Processes in Differential Equations, one of the first books concerned with round-off errors and numerical stability.
Ivo Babuška left Czechoslovakia in 1968 and works in the U.S.A.
It is an honor for the Institute of Mathematics to host a conference on the occasion of their birthdays.
Postdoctoral position in the Logic and Randomness in Computational Complexity
A one year postdoctoral position is available within the framework of the European Research Council Advanced Grant Feasibility, logic and randomness in computational complexity (FEALORA) under the direction of Prof. Pavel Pudlák, starting on 1st December 2015.
The Equadiff conferences are a series of international meetings devoted to the field of differential equations in the broadest sense.
On July 6–10, 2015, hosted by Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 at the heart of the second largest urban area of France, Equadiff 2015 continues the tradition of the Equadiff series.
Mathematical Thermodynamics of Complex Fluids, CIME courses
International Mathematical Summer School coordinated by E. Rocca (Università di Milano and WIAS Berlin) and E. Feireisl (IM CAS Praha).
Courses given by: J. Ball (Oxford), C. M. Dafermos (Brown University), E. Feireisl (IM CAS Praha), F. Otto (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig).
Date: June 29 – July 3, 2015
Place: Cetraro, Italy
Postdoctoral position in the Mathematical Thermodynamics of Fluids
A three-year postdoctoral position is available within the framework of the European Research Council Advanced Grant Mathematical Thermodynamics of Fluids (MATHEF) under the direction of Prof. Eduard Feireisl, starting on 1st May 2015.
Postdoctoral position within the Academic Human Resource Programme
A two-year postdoctoral position within the Academic Human Resource Programme of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic is available in one of the research teams in the Institute of Mathematics in Prague or in Brno, starting on 1st July 2015.
