Thanks a million to those of you who came by to see us on the stand "Maths in France" during the Congress and those who read this blog! Tschuss!

The Council of the European Mathematical Society met to decide, among other important matters, on the location of the 8th European Congress of Mathematics in 2020.
... And the winner is....Portoroz in Slovenia during the week 5-11 July 2020.

Introduced and followed by a Q&A with Ekaterina Eremenko

To most people math appears abstract, mysterious. Complicated. Inaccessible. But math is nothing but a different language to express the world. Math can be sensual. Math can be tasted, it smells, it creates sound and color. One can touch it— and be touched by it...

This film features a series of intimate monologues by mathematicians Jean-Michel Bismut, Anatoly Fomenko, Maxim Kontsevich, Aaditya Rangan, Cédric Villani, and Günter Ziegler about their personal and emotional involvement in the process of discovery.

Director: Ekaterina Eremenko
Executive Producer: Yuri Tschinkel

This wandering exhibition with starting point in Berlin, is curated by Sylvie Paycha, Professor of Mathematics at Potsdam University together with two colleagues Sara Azzali also from the University of Potsdam and Alexandra Antoniouk from the Academy of Science in Kiev, as well as the photographer Noel Matoff.
Prof. Paycha interviewed several women mathematicians from all over Europe. The result is a presentation of their scientific and personal trajectories with the joys or difficulties the protagonists encountered in their careers.

Prize winner Patrice Hauret dropped by the Maths in France booth today for a discussion with Patrick Foulon, Director of CIRM, and was joined by Pierre Bergé whose superb exhibition on "Views in 3-Manifolds" is shown at 7ECM.
