International Center for Mathematical Sciences

The Simons Foundation International, Ltd., (SFI) is funding a project of the International Center for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS-Sofia) at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences for the period 2022 – 2025. The grant is aimed at supporting displaced scientists from Ukraine and other countries, organizing international scientific events with the participation of world-renowned and established mathematicians, and opening new research positions for young scientists.

The grant to ICMS-Sofia was announced personally by Prof. Yuri Tschinkel, Director of Simons Foundation, Mathematics and Physical Sciences division, during his visit to Sofia in June 2022. Professor Tschinkel was a special guest at the conference Second Annual Meeting of Young Bulgarian Mathematicians, which was hosted at IMI–BAS from 13 to 14 June 2022.
