The Eduard Čech Distinguished Visitor Programme has been established with the aim to significantly enhance the creative environment in the Institute by bring here highly distinguished mathematicians for prolonged periods. The visitors are expected to deliver a series of at least three lectures for the mathematical community and to essentially develop scientific collaboration with the mathematicians in the Institute.

Antonín Novotný is a professor of a special class at the Université du Sud Toulon. He is a leading specialist in the theory of compressible flows and expert on singular limits for the complete system. Apart from this, he is interested in theoretical numerical analysis for compressible fluids. Antonín Novotný published on these topics three influential monographs. He received the medal of the Academy of Sciences in 2009, Bolzano medal in 2018 a silver medal of the Charles University. From February to April 2021, he will stay in the Institute of Mathematics as the Eduard Čech Distinguished Visitor. He will deliver a lecture series entitled Dissipative and weak solutions to compressible Navier-Stokes equations: theory and numerical analysis and collaborate mainly with colleagues from the Department of Evolution Differential Equations.
Stevo Todorčević is one of the leading researchers in modern pure mathematics. He was an invited speaker at the ICM in Berlin in 1998, and a member of the program committee for the ICM in Madrid in 2006. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Fellow of the Fields Institute, and a Member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. In 2013, he was awarded the Shoenfield Prize for his book. He gave the Alfred Tarski Lectures at the University of California in Berkeley in 2014, and he gave the Gödel Annual Lecture of the Association for Symbolic Logic in 2016. He was awarded CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize in 2012, and he holds a Canada Research Chair professorship at the University of Toronto. His research in set theory, Ramsey theory, and functional analysis has strong connections with interests of Prague mathematicians.
Vojtěch Rödl belongs to the top world mathematicians in the field of combinatorics. He authored more than 300 articles. He became famous by his work in Ramsey theory but later obtained significant results in many other branches of combinatorics. Many of his results deal with Erdős's problems of which he has solved more than 20, including very difficult ones. In particular he and Peter Frankl proved the Erdős and Hanani conjecture. The method by which it was solved is referred to as Rödl nibble. His probably most famous result is a proof of the hypergraph regularity lemma, which he published with his students in a series of articles. This enables one to prove Szemerédi's theorem on arithmetic progressions in dense subsets of integers by purely combinatorial means as well as some other results of this kind.
Giovanni P. Galdi is the Leighton E. and Mary N. Orr Professor of Engineering and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh. He is also Honorary Professor in the TATA Institute of Fundamental Research, India, and the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany.
