In this seminar leading experts introduce key elements of mathematical knot theory and discuss physical applications, from vortex dynamics to magnetic fields, from polymer physics to proteins and DNA biology. Topics include an introduction to knots, links and braids, knot invariants and related algebraic structures. From knotoids and linkoids to the real world of physical entanglements, the mathematical tools of knot theory become essential to describe natural phenomena around us.

The study of fluid flows on Riemannian manifolds generalizes the classical theory of fluid dynamics in Euclidean space to curved spaces. This extension is motivated both by applications and by intrinsic mathematical interest in the interplay between partial differential equations and differential geometry. Central to this theory is the formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations on a Riemannian manifold, which describe viscous fluid motion subject to the geometry of the underlying space. Some basic questions are: (Formulation) How should the Navier-Stokes equations be correctly expressed on a general Riemannian manifold? (Well-posedness) Do the standard questions of existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions extend naturally to manifolds? Deadline for application: 15 February 2026

The Computers in Scientific Discovery (CSD) conference series is designed to bring together researchers whose work makes connections between mathematics, computer science, and natural sciences. In particular, the CSD meetings have concentrated on how algorithms, mathematical software and data are used in non-trivial ways to advance research in the mathematical and physical sciences. The conferences focus not only on applications, but also on mathematical foundations, philosophy and practicalities of the scientific discovery process, including conjecture-making, construction and the use of curated databases of mathematical objects, and computer-aided proofs. The main theme of the 11th CSD conference is ‘Computationally Intensive Methods in Mathematics: Applications in Chemistry and Beyond’. The conference will take place 4–8 May 2026 in picturesque Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.

The 43rd Annual Conference of the Nigerian Mathematical Society is scheduled to hold from May 12–16, 2026. This annual conference brings together mathematicians from across Nigeria, as well as participants from outside the country, to share research ideas and present new findings in various areas of mathematical research. With Akwa Ibom State selected as the host location for the May 2026 edition, the conference is expected to attract a large number of participants.

The field of Analysis in Metric Spaces has experienced remarkable growth over the past three decades and now sits at the crossroads of potential theory, geometric measure theory, geometric function theory, and partial differential equations. Its influence extends to diverse areas such as dynamical systems, geometric group theory, and synthetic differential geometry. Our aim is to gather a vibrant and diverse community of leading experts and emerging researchers to share recent breakthroughs, explore new directions, and foster meaningful collaborations across disciplines.

The conference aims to honor the scientific contributions of Nigel Kalton (1946–2010), whose work has profoundly influenced modern Functional Analysis and related fields. The event will gather researchers from around the world to present recent developments connected to Kalton’s ideas and to explore new directions inspired by his work. The program includes sessions on Kalton’s life and contributions, recent advances in his research areas, invited talks by internationally recognized specialists—including Peter Scholze, Gilles Godefroy, Gilles Lancien, and Grzegorz Plebanek—and opportunities for contributed talks and poster presentations.

This is 5th International Conference on Dynamics of Differential Equations – in Memory of Jack K. Hale. The series was established through the joint effort of research groups in the dynamics of differential equations across the Americas, Asia, and Europe, with a scientific focus on the advancement and application of dynamical systems generated by differential equations and their discrete analogs. Previous meetings took place at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, USA (2013), CIRM, Luminy, France (2016), Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan (2018), and Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada (2023). Each conference in the series features a distinguished Hale Lecture, honoring the legacy of Prof. Jack K. Hale. Previous Hale Lectures were given by Geneviève Raugel (2013), Peter Poláčik (2016), Hiroshi Matano (2018), and John Mallet-Paret (2023). The 5th Hale lecture will be given by Rafael de la Llave (Georgia Tech, USA). Young researchers are strongly encouraged to participate and present a poster.

The conference aims to bring together leading senior researchers and promising early‑career scholars working in elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. Key topics include regularity theory and its applications, free boundary problems, singularity formation and qualitative properties of solutions. A particular emphasis will be placed on fostering participation from young scholars in Eastern Europe, providing them with the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge developments in the area. The inaugural edition of the conference took place in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 2024.

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis is a leading mathematical conference that takes place in rotation in one of the Baltic countries (Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia). The conference brings together researchers and practitioners to present and discuss recent advances in mathematical modelling, numerical methods, and their applications in science, engineering, and industry. It covers a broad spectrum of topics ranging from applications of ODEs and PDEs to machine learning and data-driven approaches. The conference will be held in the resort city of Jūrmala, which is located approximately 20 minutes from Rīga. The conference venue is located in a picturesque corner of Jūrmala, one minute from the beach, offering a pleasant and inspiring setting.

The University of Aveiro, with the support of the projects ILLIANCE and NEXUS, and the Portuguese Mathematical Society (SPM), is pleased to organize DII26, to be held from 3–7 June 2026 in Aveiro, Portugal. We warmly invite you to participate. As industries evolve amidst rapid digital transformation, the convergence of theoretical rigor, artificial intelligence, and human-centered design is unlocking new frontiers in productivity, resilience, and innovation. The conference DII26 serves as a dynamic platform for researchers, practitioners, and technologists to explore the latest advancements in industrial systems and their socio-technical impact, implemented through data-driven approaches. We mainly consider three Industrial sectors: Primary Sector: This sector involves extracting and harvesting raw materials from the natural environment. Examples include agriculture, fishing, mining, and forestry. Secondary Sector: This sector focuses on manufacturing and construction, using raw materials from the primary sector to create finished goods. Examples include factories, construction sites, and refineries. Tertiary Sector: This sector provides services to support the production and distribution of goods, as well as to consumers. Examples include retail, logistics and transportation, and healthcare. The conference brings together a multidisciplinary community to present and discuss cutting-edge developments across some topics: New Data-driven Methods Machine Learning and General AI for Industrial Innovation Data Engineering and Infrastructure for Industry Decision Support and Automation Human-Centric Data-Driven Design Ethics, Policy, and Socio-technical Implications Cross-disciplinary Methods and Emerging Technologies Products for Logistics Products for Manufacturing Prototypes and Ongoing Work from Students
