We are proud to announce that two SONATA BIS grants are awarded to Marek Cygan (Robot generalist - advancing robot learning via reinforcement learning and VLAs) and Lorenzo Clemente (Analysis of quantitative models of computation).

Congratulations as well to Piotr Gwiazda for winning the MAESTRO grant for the project that will be implemented at ICM UW: Research challenges of partial differential equations inspired by state-of-the-art statistics and machine learning algorithms.

On April 7-11, as a part of the Thematic Research Program (IDUB initiative) our Faculty organises a spring school "Quasicrystals - mathematical physics, ergodic theory, and topology of nonperiodic structures". Participation is free, but registration is required. Online participation is possible.

We cordially invite you to take part in the school!

We cordially invite you to attend the second special Faculty Colloquium during which new faculty members will deliver short accessible talks presenting their areas of research. Speakers:

• K. Kazaniecki (functional analysis)
• K. Myśliwy (mathematical physics)
• R. Meller (probability)
• M. Włodarczyk (algorithmics)
• W. Zuba (text algorithms)

Feel invited to the first Chess Tournament co-organized by our students at Campus Ochota. Elimination rounds will be held on the 6th of March, starting at 5 pm, at the Faculty of Physics.

Registration is required!

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to take part in the programming competition "Potyczki Algorytmiczne" (Algorithmic Engagements)!

The elimination rounds will be held online on March 10-16, and the finals, as it has become usual, in Zielona Góra (on May 23-24).

We encourage not only students and not only MIM; the competition is nationwide and open to all!

Efficient and Accurate Explanation Estimation with Distribution Compression by Hubert Baniecki and Przemysław Biecek has just been highlighted as a 'spotlight' article at a very prestigious conference in the field of ML/AI. Only 5.1% of publications submitted received such an award!

Congratulations!!!

We encourage you to submit projects for schools, conferences and workshops organized at the Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center (in Warsaw or Będlewo) in the years 2025-2027.

Scientific events approved by the international Scientific Council of the Banach Center will receive the status of 'Banach Center Events' and organizational assistance and funding, depending on the IM PAN budget.

We wish all students and teaching staff a few moments of carefree relaxation.

See you on February 17th in class!

The first lecture in the series "Maria Skłodowska-Curie lecture" will be given by Prof. Antonio Acin from ICFO (Barcelona) on the subject of secure, device-independent cryptographic key exchange. Prof. Acin was a 4-time ERC grantee in the field of his research.

See you on February 20 at 12:30, in room 2180!

We already know the winners of the 1st edition of the "Laboratorium Pomysłów" Grant Program!

One of the two awarded projects is "Snow's Eye" submitted by Jan Mikołajczyk, founder of the students' group Measurement Systems and Automation (Koło Naukowe Systemów Pomiarowych i Automatyki) operating at our Faculty.

The aim of the project is to build a drone to measure snow thickness in polar and mountainous areas.

We encourage you to submit your projects for the second edition, which starts on February 4th (and will last until February 28th).
