Workshop on Generic Structures

In the period October 24-30, 2021, the Institute of Mathematics organizes a Workshop on Generic Structures in its Prague premisses. The workshop is devoted to recent results and current problems around the theory of generic structures. The aim is to gather specialists working in the area as well as students and young researchers interested in the topic. The event is taking place within the framework of the EXPRO project Abstract Convergence Schemes and Their Complexities funded by the Czech Science Foundation and led by W. Kubiś.

Best Book Publication Award

Prof. Mirko Rokyta, the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, awarded Martin Doubek, Branislav Jurčo, Martin Markl and Ivo Sachs the Best Book Award 2020 for their monograph Algebraic Structure of String Field Theory published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Physics series in 2020. The book represents the first self-contained text explaining the role of operads in string field theory

Nezkreslená věda VI: Superpočítače

Pracovníci Střediska společných činností AV ČR ve spolupráci se studiem Maur Film vyrobili krátký animovaný popularizační film nazvaný Superpočítače. Komentář namluvili Barbora Hrzánová a Radek Holub, odborným garantem byl Jakub Šístek z Matematického ústavu AV ČR. Film vyrobený v rámci programu Strategie AV21 je volně přístupný na YouTube.

Matematika pro poučení i pro zábavu

Pracovníci Matematického ústavu AV ČR připravili webové stránky, na kterých žáci, studenti, učitelé a všichni zájemci o matematiku mohou najít popularizační přednášky, zábavné úlohy a další zajímavé odkazy týkající se matematiky.

Video promoting cooperation with Doosan-Bobcat EMEA in Dobříš

Institute of Mathematics prepared a promotional video presenting its cooperation with the company Doosan-Bobcat EMEA in Dobříš within Strategy AV21 on mathematical models of processes needed for the development of new compact excavators and loaders. The video is in Czech and presents successful solutions for problems concerning material fatigue, engine cooling, corresponding noise and phase transitions during windshield defrosting.

What is a vortex? A successful grant project

The exact mathematical and physical answer to the question “What is a vortex?” is subject of research for several decades. The research was subject of the successful project Advanced flow-field analysis led by Ing. Václav Kolář, CSc., from the Institute of Hydrodynamics CAS and Ing. Jakub Šístek, Ph.D., from the Institute of Mathematics CAS. The Czech Science Foundation funded the project in the years 2018-2020 and listed it among the selected successful projects of the Czech researchers.

Academic Award – Praemium Academiae for Šárka Nečasová

Academic Award – Praemium Academiae is a programme running since 2007 in the Czech Academy of Sciences. It is a rigorously selective tool for financial and moral support of scientific excellence at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, which aims to assist outstanding scientific personalities who are researchers at the top international level and create conditions for them in which they can better develop their potential for the Academy of Sciences and all the sciences. Up to four grants with generous support are awarded each year for a period of six years. Šárka Nečasová will use the support for the research focused on mathematical analysis of models in fluid mechanics and dynamics of solids. Problems of this type occur naturally in industrial applications, biomedicine (blood flow) and environmental sciences (oceanography, meteorology).
This is already the third Praemium Academiae awarded to a researcher from the Institute of Mathematics. The previous two were Eduard Feireisl (2007) and Martin Markl (2018).

Institute of Mathematics received the HR Excellence in Research award

On October 5, 2021, the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences received the HR Excellence in Research award. European Commission provided the Institute with this prestigious award after a thorough assessment by independent reviewers. The award reflects the Institute's commitment to continuously improve human resource policies in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, notably the commitment of fair and transparent recruitment and appraisal procedures. The Institute is now listed on the EURAXESS portal among the HR Acknowledged Institutions and the HR Award logo will decorate the Institute's vacations advertised at the EURAXESS job portal. The Institute can now use the HR Excellence in Research award to promote its stimulating and favourable work environment.

Dny otevřených dveří v Matematickém ústavu AV ČR | Open Houses in the Institute of Mathematics CAS

Upozornění: Vzhledem k epidemiologické situaci si na akci, prosíme, vezměte respirátor. Upozorňujeme návštěvníky na nutnost dodržení aktuálních opatření, tedy splnění jedné z podmínek O-T-N (Očkování/Test/prodělaná Nemoc).

Tradiční Dny otevřených dveří v Matematickém ústavu AV ČR jsou součástí Týdne Akademie věd ČR, nejrozsáhlejšího vědeckého festivalu v ČR pořádaného Akademií věd ČR ve spolupráci s dalšími institucemi ve dnech 1.–7. listopadu 2021. 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 představí své výzkumné projekty, předvedou nejmodernější vědecké přístroje a experimenty a přiblíží návštěvníkům nejnovější trendy v oblasti vědy. V Matematickém ústavu AV ČR se Dny otevřených dveří uskuteční na pražském pracovišti ve dnech 1.–5. listopadu 2021.

Warning: Due to the current epidemiological situation, please take a respirator to the event. We draw the attention of all visitors to the need of compliance with current measures, i.e., with one of the conditions (Vaccination / Test / Overcomed Illness).

Traditional Open Houses in the Institute of Mathematics CAS is held as part of the Week of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the most extensive scientific festival in the Czech Republic, organized by the Czech Academy of Sciences in cooperation with other institutions from 1st to 7th November 2021. The scientists from the research workplaces of the Academy of Sciences have prepared a wide offer of lectures, presentations, panel discussions, seminars, excursions, exhibitions and discussion evenings, in which they present their research projects, modern scientific devices and outline the latest trends in science. The Institute of Mathematics will be open to public from 1st to 5th November 2021.
