The next PhD Open will take place on June 17 - June 19, when Ewa Szczurek (Helmholtz Munich and University of Warsaw) and Jan Olszewski (University of Warsaw) will give a course titled Controllable Generative AI for Biological Sequences.

The Workshop on Geometric Topology 2026 (June 7–13, 2026, MIMUW) is an international workshop dedicated to geometric and low-dimensional topology. Speakers include Erkao Bao, Maciej Starostka, Lina Liu, Alexander Doan, Raphael Zentner, Francesco Lin, and Brad Wilson. The focus is on Morse homologies, including equivariant ones, and Floer-type invariants of low-dimensional manifolds. The event program combines formal talks with daily, informal blackboard discussions."

We cordially invite you to a conference commemorating Professor Wanda Szmielew, On the Trails of Mathematics.

It will take place from June 29th to July 1st at our Faculty.

As part of the MIMUW colloquium,  Piotr Kucharski will deliver a talk titled “Knot-quiver correspondence”. The talk will take place on May 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM in the Faculty Council Room (2180).

Our students performed exceptionally well at the 33rd Vojtech Jarnik International Mathematical Competition:

• in Category I (1st-2nd year of study), Mikołaj Woźniak took third place, and Krzysztof Karwik placed 6th-10th.

• in Category II (3rd-5th year of study), Adam Naskręcki took second place, and Łukasz Łopacki placed 19th-21st.

Their supervisor was Witold Bednorz. Congratulations!

On this year's SIGMOD Research Highlights (a list of the 10 best database papers, both theory and systems, published in the preceding year) there are two papers we're particularly proud of:
-> Relational Programming in Rel by Filip Murlak
-> AnyBlox: A Framework for Self-Decoding Datasets by our graduate Mateusz Gienieczka (currently a PhD student at TU Munich, previously Filip Murlak's master student)

Congrats!

Damian Niwiński and Paweł Urzyczyn, along with Teodor Knapik (from ISEA, Université de la Nouvelle Calédonie) are this year's winners of the Test of Time award at the ETAPS congress for their paper Higher-Order Pushdown Trees Are Easy published at the 2002 FoSSaCS conference.

Congratulations!
