Dny otevřených dveří v MÚ AV ČR a Týden vědy a techniky 2012
Tradiční Dny otevřených dveří v Matematickém ústavu AV ČR byly součástí Týdne vědy a techniky, nejrozsáhlejšího vědeckého festivalu v České republice pořádaného Akademií věd ČR ve spolupráci s dalšími institucemi ve dnech 1.–15. listopadu 2012. 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 Dny otevřených dveří proběhly na pražském pracovišti ve dnech 1. a 2. listopadu, v brněnské pobočce 7. listopadu 2012. Zúčastnilo se jich více než 150 návštěvníků. Traditional Open Houses in the Institute of Mathematics AS CR were held as part of the Week of Science and Technology, the most extensive scientific festival in the Czech Republic, organized by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in cooperation with other institutions from 1 to 15 November 2012. 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 were open to public on 1st and 2nd November, the Brno branch on 7th November and they welcomed altogether more than 150 visitors.

6th European Congress of Mathematics: July 2-7, 2012 in Krakow (Poland)
On Monday, July 2, the doors opened to the 6th European Congress of Mathematics in the beautiful historic city of Krakow in Poland. Since 1992, the European Mathematical Society invites every four years mathematicians from all over the world to this important event. Previous congresses have been held in Paris, Budapest, Barcelona, Stockholm and Amsterdam. This year, the congress is organized by colleagues from the Polish Mathematical Society and the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, chaired by Prof Stefan Jackowski (Warsaw). The scientific programme has been arranged by international Scientific Committee chaired by Prof. Eduard Feireisl (Institute of Mathematics AS CR). The Polish President, Mr. Bronislaw Komorowski has accepted the honorary patronage for the congress.
Close to 1.000 mathematicians are expected to participate in the congress that is taking place over a whole week at the Auditorium Maximum of the Jagellionian University. During the opening ceremony on Monday morning a total of 12 prizes installed by the European Mathematical Society were awarded by EMS President Prof Marta Sanz-Solé (Barcelona, Spain) to laureates selected by three prize committees.
The monetary value of each prize is 5000 Euro. All prize winners have been invited to deliver lectures at 6ECM.
