We invite you to a workshop preceded by a two-day tutorial on Data Assimilatio - a key-pillar of modern weather forecasting.

If you are interested, but new to the topic, we encourage to take part in the proceeding tutorial.

Please register in advance. There is no registration fee for participants from the University of Warsaw.

Master's degree student research scholarship in the Sonata project "Integrative analysis of single-cell genomics data" funded by the National Science Centre, Poland (2020/39/D/NZ2/03461). Principal investigator: dr Aleksander Jankowski.

Applications should be submitted to aleksander.jankowski@uw.edu.pl

Deadline: September 23, 2025.

The annual Conference on Applications of Mathematics in Biology and Medicine, co-organized by our Faculty, will take place from September 16-20. This year, we are also planning a panel discussion on career paths in applied mathematics. Our staff and alumni will be among the panelists.

Our Faculty hosts "ML in PL" conference, organized for machine learning professionals, enthusiast and practitioners in both academia and business. If you are keen on ML, register and learn from the best experts in the world, share your knowledge with others and meet with the community!

From September 9th to 13th, our Faculty will host "Diffusion in Warsaw" - a workshop exploring current trends in diffusion modeling from various mathematical perspectives. It will focus not only on partial differential equations but also on probabilistic approaches and numerical methods.

Our students, staff, and alumni performed exceptionally well at the International Championship in Mathematical Games. In the following categories:

- L2 (students): Robert Soboński won 1st place, and Konrad Czarnecki took 2nd place;

- GP (adults not professionally involved in mathematics): Łukasz Kalinowski - 1st place;

- HC (professionals in mathematics): Łukasz Bożyk took first place.

Congratulations!!!

We are pleased to share good news that our Faculty has received the ECMI Teaching Center accreditation, confirming that the education offered by our Faculty within the Master's program in Applied Mathematics meets the model requirements of the ECMI organization.

KNUM (our Machine Learning students club) invites you to ML in PL Conference 2025!

From its humble beginnings as a student-led initiative, the ML in PL Conference has evolved into the largest machine learning gathering in CEE, welcoming participants from across Europe and beyond.

Early bird registartion is now open! Come and see how Machine Learning is done in PoLand.

Feel warmly invited to a hybrid conference "Baby Steps Beyond the Horizon", co-organized by our employees.

The conference gives an opportunity for students to see possible development of a scientific career and meet potential supervisors of doctoral dissertations (or postdoctoral internships).

We invite students of all levels with an interest in theoretical biology to take part in the MAT-BIO Exchange, a four-day workshop focused on modelling biological processes and building an international network across European universities.

No prior experience in mathematics or biology is required—curiosity and interest matter more than background. The goal is to bring together motivated participants and researchers to explore topics ranging from population genetics and ecology to developmental biology, epidemics, and treatment models.

To express your interest, please send an email describing your motivation by July 31st to:
matbioexchange@gmail.com

We cordially invite you to our Faculty monthly coloquium! This time Venkatesan Guruswami from UC Berkeley will deliver a lecture entitled When and Why Do Efficient Algorithms Exist (for Constraint Satisfaction and Beyond)?

See you on Monday, June 30 at 11:00 in room 2180.
