Olena Atlasiuk has been selected to the EMS Young Academy

It is a pleasure to announce that our colleague Dr Olena Atlasiuk has been selected to become a member of the inaugural cohort of the European Mathematical Society Young Academy (EMYA). The Institute of Mathematics CAS nominated Dr Atlasiuk as an institutional member of the European Mathematical Society. EMYA Selection Committee has chosen Dr Atlasiuk out of nominees from most European countries, specializing in all branches of mathematics. The first meeting of EMYA took place on March 6, 2023. At this meeting, the new members agreed on the founding principles and initial plans of EMYA to strengthen the role and perspective of the young generation of mathematicians in Europe. Let us keep our fingers crossed for them to manage this difficult task, and let us congratulate Dr Atlasiuk on her success.

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

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 31. října – 6. listopadu 2022. 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 31. října – 4. listopadu 2022.

Martin Markl received the Bernard Bolzano honorary medal

Today, on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, professor Eva Zažímalová, the president of the Czech Academy of Sciences, awarded Dr Martin Markl the Bernard Bolzano Honorary Medal for Merit in the Mathematical Sciences. The proposal to decorate Martin Markl was prepared and approved in 2020. However, due to the epidemy of covid-19, a dignity event could not be organized until today. The festive ceremony in the historical building of the Czech Academy of Sciences was attended by the highest representatives of the Czech Academy of Sciences, members of the Academy Council, directors of academic institutes and distinguished guests. Martin Markl is a world-renowned expert in algebra, geometry, topology and their applications to mathematical physics and madam president acknowledged his essential contributions. Sincere congratulations.

Pavel Pudlák received the highest honorary medal of the Czech Academy of Sciences

On Monday, July 27, 2022, the president of the Czech Academy of Sciences, professor Eva Zažímalová presented Pavel Pudlák with the honorary medal De scientia et humanitate optime meritis. Pavel Pudlák received this highest honorary award of the Czech Academy of Sciences for his tireless service to science and remarkable contributions to logic and foundations of computer science. The medal awarding ceremony in villa Lanna started with the talk of professor Samuel Buss from the University of California, San Diego, and continued with the laudation by professor Jaroslav Nešetřil from the Charles Univeristy, and reception. This special event opens the workshop Complexity Theory with a Human Face organized by Pavel Hrubeš, Michal Koucký, Navid Talebanfard, and Neil Thapen and devoted to Pavel Pudlák, who is turning 70.
