On the 23rd of May in the morning, around 20 researchers gathered in ICTA-UAB’s Sala Antoni Rossell for an informal meeting to create synergies.
After a welcome given by the directors, researchers from both centers, previously selected with shared research interests, presented their work in two series of short talks. In the presentation sessions researchers gained a general awareness of what kind of projects were going on in the neighbouring center and during the coffee breaks they were able to engage in deeper discussions.


ICTA-UAB is a multidisciplinary center that promotes research in environmental sciences and aims to improve our understanding of global environmental change, and the nature and causes of environmental problems. CRM is a center specialized in mathematical research in all mathematical areas with a focus on its applications and social impact. Some of the topics covered were climate change forecast and adaptation, urban mobility and green infrastructures. Work from both centers is highly complementary and teher are many opportunities to help in each other’s research. Next step will be a second Joint Workshop in which possible collaborations will be explored further.

Exploring New Frontiers: Chronicle of the School on Homogenization and Fractional Calculus
On 24-25 March 2025, the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) hosted the ‘School on New Frontiers in Homogenization and Fractional Calculus’ to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Γ-convergence. This mathematical technique was introduced by Ennio De Giorgi and Tullio...
Quillen i la Quimera de l’Homotopia Equivariant: Estratificant l’Inimaginable!
L'equip de l'estudi ha ampliat el teorema de Quillen per treballar amb espectres anellats equivariantment com a coeficients. També ha formulat una estratificació geomètrica en el llenguatge de la geometria tensorial-triangular equivariant. Els investigadors es van...
Masaki Kashiwara rep el Premi Abel 2025 per les seves aportacions a l’anàlisi algebraica
El matemàtic japonès Masaki Kashiwara ha estat guardonat amb el Premi Abel 2025. Entre les seves fites destaca el desenvolupament pioner de la teoria dels D-mòduls, que ha tingut una influència profunda en les matemàtiques modernes i en camps com la física teòrica....
