The geometric arrangement of a material’s constituents plays an important role in governing its behavior. Concepts from discrete mathematics to describe these geometric arrangements, including notions of rigidity and flexibility, can bring fundamental insight into how a material might respond to stress, be designed, be reconfigured, etc. Beyond materials, the notions of network rigidity can be applied to more abstract networks and geometries, such as those found in data science. This workshop aims to build connections between the field of mathematical rigidity theory, other topics in applied mathematics, and related areas of science and engineering.

Within the mathematics of fluid mechanics, fluid-solid interactions have been a rapidly expanding field since the early 2000s. Fluid-solid problems are unique in that they have applications in a wide variety of fields. Systems mixing fluids and solids are involved in both industrial contexts (describing the behavior of wind turbines for energy production) and health issues (calculating the impact of hematocrit or the mechanical properties of red blood cells on blood viscosity). The various questions associated with these different experimental settings involve a wide range of mathematical fields, including analysis and simulation of partial differential equations, homogenization, control theory and statistical physics.

Building on the success of the four previous conferences (held in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023) this biennial event will aim to draw together the considerable community of researchers and practitioners who use and / or develop innovative mathematics and data driven approaches, relevant to the applications and theory of Operational Research (OR). The conference will be held at the beautiful and easily accessible Conference Centre Aston in Birmingham and will showcase activities from across all areas of OR. We welcome contributions that are empirically motivated and with a focus on application, as well as those that are theoretically driven. The conference will host plenaries from leading international experts, sessions of themed talks, as well as poster sessions, and will provide plenty of opportunities for networking. We look forward to seeing you in Birmingham in April 2025 for a terrific event and to celebrate together the successes of OR!

We are delighted to announce the International Conference on Non-linear Analysis and Optimization (ICAN-OPT_NEPAL_2025), from May 08 to 10, 2025, at Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, Nepal including a Workshop on Fixed Point Theory and Applications. This event is organized by Kathmandu University in collaboration with Tribhuvan University, Nepal Sanskrit University, and Nepal Mathematical Society. This conference will cover diverse topics like Non-linear Analysis, Fixed Point Theory, Operator Theory, Complex Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Wavelet Analysis, Special Functions, Functional Analysis, Fourier Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Convex Analysis, Optimization Theory, Queueing Theory, Finance & Economics, Differential Equations, Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Modelling, Data Science, and Machine Learning.

The BMC is planned as a regional conference organised under the auspices of the EMS with the purpose of bringing together mathematicians from the Balkan and neighbouring countries, biennially in one of these countries. These conferences equally welcome mathematicians from all over the world and across mathematical areas. The BMC is also supported by the Mathematical Society of South Eastern Europe (MASSEE).

Flows involving solid particulates are ubiquitous in nature and industry alike. Such flows are found in pharmaceutical production, the chemical industry, the food and agricultural industries, energy production and the environment. Many unsolved problems remain, however. In order to be able to solve problems, granular flows need to be understood so that their behaviour can be controlled and predicted. We are able to describe rapid granular flows, where the particles are highly agitated and there has been some success describing static systems. The intermediate regime, where these two phases meet and coexist, is not as well understood and yet is the most commonly observed behaviour of granular flow. The objective of this meeting will be to interface the two ends of the particulate flow spectrum – those working to understand the fundamentals of granular flows and those attempting to control particulate flows in an industrial setting – to develop solutions to the complex problems presented by dense granular flows. Themes will include dense granular flow, biological systems, self-propelled particles and geological flows, exploring new developments in theoretical analysis and experimental techniques. All attendees will be provided with an opportunity to present recent work and there will be substantial time for discussion, both during the workshop and during the evening! Postgraduate and PhD students are particularly welcomed and oral presentations will reflect the breadth of the field.

The 1st IMA Mathematics Anxiety International Conference will take place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, the University of Cambridge, in the heart of the historical city. It aims to bring together researchers, academics, teachers, publishers, policy makers and all interested in the conference theme from all over the world. We particularly welcome submissions from researchers (at any stage) in interdisciplinary fields such as education, psychological and behavioural science, and sociology and envisage a number of themes including: 1. Mathematics anxiety reported by non-specialists i.e., students studying disciplines other than mathematics 2. Gender and other dimensions to mathematics anxiety 3. Concepts linked to mathematics anxiety such as negative emotions, unfavourable attitudes, motivation, communication, self-efficacy, mathematical self-concept, resilience to failure, and autonomy 4. Precursors and impacts of mathematics anxiety 5. Communicating and teaching quantitative courses such as mathematics, statistics, research methods and operational research 6. Pedagogical interventions to support mathematics anxiety sufferers such as blended learning, mindset interventions, those designed to enhance self-efficacy, student-led education, and student-voice 7. Interventions such as brain stimulation 8. Promoting equity, inclusion and diversity (EDI), in mathematics education

We cordially invite you to the 11th International Conference on Lévy Processes (LP2025) at Sofia University, Bulgaria. The LP2025 continues the long tradition of Lévy conferences previously held in Mannheim (2022), Samos (2019), Angers (2016), Wroclaw (2013), Dresden (2010), Copenhagen (2007), Manchester (2005), Paris (2003) and Aarhus (2002, 1999). Its main aim is to bring together a wide range of researchers and graduate students working on topics related to Lévy processes and their applications. You are welcome to join us and enjoy accessible and intriguing invited talks from leading researchers in the field. Shortly before LP2025, a satellite summer school will be held from July 25 to July 27 at the same venue. The school courses will be addressed for PhD students and intend to give a panoramic view of various aspects in the topic of stochastic processes. The tentative list of lecturers includes: Prof. Bastien Mallein (Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France) Prof. Jason Schweinsberg (University of California, San Diego, USA) Prof. Pierre Patie (Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA). Poster contributions to the conference and the summer school will be accepted as well. For both events there is no participation fee!
