22nd Colloquiumfest

The 22nd Colloquiumfest devoted to interactions between algebra, model theory, and related topics will take place in the Institute of Mathematics CAS in Prague on 6–9 December 2019. The Colloquiumfests have been (approximately) annual meetings organized by varying organizers such as University of Saskatchewan, Institut Henri Poincaré, CUNY Graduate Center, Boğaziçi University, Universities of Valladolid, of Heidelberg, and of Hawaii. Since 2010 the Colloquiumfest has joined forces with the biannual Czech, Polish and Slovak Conference Series on Number Theory, which created the ALaNT series.

Joint Workshop on Sound and Vibration Simulations in Earthmoving Equipment

Motto: "All models are wrong, but some are useful", George Box

M. Křížek, L. Somer, M. Markl, O. Kowalski, P. Pudlák, and I. Vrkoč received the 2018 Josef Hlávka Prize

Every year, the Foundation of Josef, Marie and Zdeňka Hlávka awards the Josef Hlávka Prize for scientific literature. In the ceremony held at the Castle Lužany on June 17, 2019, M. Křížek, L. Somer, M. Markl, O. Kowalski, P. Pudlák, and I. Vrkoč recieved the 2018 Josef Hlávka Prize for their book Abelova cena – nejvyšší ocenění za matematiku (The Abel Prize – the Highest Achievement in Mathematics) published by Academia Publishing House in 2018. The book surveys the major results of the recipients of the first fifteen Abel Prizes. The Prize which is considered a mathematics counterpart of the Nobel Prize is awarded by the King of Norway every year to one or two mathematicians for their lifetime achievement.
