The European Young Researchers Award

The European Young Researchers Award is granted since 2010 to researchers demonstrating outstanding research performance and leadership. It aims to inspire early stage researchers to incorporate a European dimension and perspective into their research. The Award is granted each year; in odd years, the prize is dedicated to PhD candidates, and in even years to post-doctoral fellows. The Award consists of a Certificate, waiving the participation fee to ESOF, a grant to cover travel and accommodation for the stay in the ESOF city and a two years’ free EuroScience membership. ESOF 2018 will be held in Toulouse from 9 to 14 July.

Eduard Čech Distinguished Visitor Programme

The programme has been established with the aim to significantly enhance the creative environment in the Institute of Mathematics by bring here highly distinguished mathematicians for prolonged periods. For the details see the corresponding

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.

Yves Meyer receives the Abel Prize 2017

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2017 to Yves Meyer of the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay, France “for his pivotal role in the development of the mathematical theory of wavelets”. Meyer's work has a relevance extending from theoretical areas of mathematics to the development of practical tools in computer and information science. As such it is a perfect example of the claim that work in pure mathematics often turns out to have important and useful real-world applications. Yves Meyer will receive the Abel Prize from His Majesty King Harald V at an award ceremony in Oslo on 23 May.

Neuron Impuls 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.
