Public stakeholder consultation — interim evaluation of Horizon 2020

The public consultation has been called by the European Commission to collect information from a wide audience on different aspects of Horizon 2020 implementation. Institutions as well as individuals (researchers, entrepreneurs, innovators) can take part till 15 January 2017. Outcomes of the consultation will affect on preparation of the new framework programme for research and innovations (FP9).

Embracing an ERA of Change

At the German National ERA Conference on 10 October 2015 in Berlin, the Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Carlos Moedas presented his vision of the 9th Framework Programme to come after Horizon 2020. The principal values should be Exellence, Openness and Impact.

Neuron Implus grants for Tomáš Vejchodský and Ondřej Kreml

Two young members of the Institute of Mathematics CAS received research grants from the Neuron Fund for Support of Science: Tomáš Vejchodský in the category Neuron Impuls for the study of Guaranteed bounds of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of differential operators and Ondřej Kreml in the category Neuron Impuls Junior for the study of Mathematical analysis of hyperbolic conservation laws.
Through the Neuron Impuls grants, the Neuron Fund for Support of Science aims to support projects in basic and – in medicine – applied scientific research and, especially, young scientists working in the Czech Republic or successful Czech scientists returning from abroad to pursue their research in the Czech Republic.

Bernard Bolzano Medals for Marián Fabian and Vladimír Müller

Marián Fabian and Vladimír Müller, the leading members of the Department of Topology and Functional Analysis have been awarded the Honorary Bernard Bolzano Medal for Merits in Mathematical Sciences. The medals were presented by the Vice-President of the Czech Academy of Sciences Dr. Jan Šafanda on 29 September 2016 during the international workshop Interactions between Algebra and Functional Analysis.

Cena za pozoruhodnou výzkumně zaměřenou publikaci

Monografie Oborové didaktivy: vývoj – stav – perspektivy získala cenu za pozoruhodnou výzkumně zaměřenou publikaci. Autorský kolektiv vedli Iva Stuchlíková a Tomáš Janík a jeho členkou byla i Mgr. Marie Tichá, CSc., vedoucí Kabinetu pro didaktiku matematiky Matematického ústavu AV ČR. Cenu uděluje Česká asociace pedagogického výzkumu. Předal ji její předseda doc. Mgr. Petr Novotný, Ph.D., na 24. výroční konferenci, která se konala ve dnech 15.–16. 9. 2016 na Pedagogické fakultě Jihočeské univerzity v Českých Budějovicích.

Dr. Emil Vitásek passed away

With a deep sorrow we inform that our colleague Dr. Emil Vitásek passed away on 28 August 2016 at the age of 85 years. Dr. Vitásek, a renown specialist in numerical mathematics, was one of those who connected their whole professional life with the Institute of Mathematics. He used to come regularly to the institute even many years after his retirement, taking part in the Seminar on Current Problems in Numerical Analysis and serving his colleagues in the Committee for Employee Care.
May he rest in peace.

Open consultation on Mathematics for Horizon 2020 next Work Programme

The European Commission is gathering ideas on Mathematics for Excellence in Science in Horizon 2020 to inform the future work programme with innovative mathematical content. The potential of mathematics was already explored in a very successful online consultation which provided excellent food for thought for a workshop held in November 2014. The conclusions of that workshop were collected in a report.
The present consultation open to all mathematicians till 30 April offers an important chance to support the creation of a so far missing niche for mathematical research in the future work programmes in Horizon 2020.
