Around sixty participants from both academia and industry took part in the workshop over the three days, including people at different stages of their research careers.

On December 8 and 9, 2022 the International Center for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS-Sofia), the Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians and the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas at the University of Miami (IMSA) organized the Third International Conference “Women in Mathematics in South-Eastern Europe”. The conference was hosted by the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia.

This workshop was devoted to discussing important and timely problems concerning the application of exact mathematical methods to conventional integrable systems and to the gauge/string models, e.g., to extend current methods for calculating finite-volume matrix elements of operators, to construct a finite version of the hexagon form factor expansion for short operators, to extend the methods of the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz to world-sheets of higher topology and to all sorts of boundaries and defects, etc.

The Conference on Geometry and Physics was held on July 15 – 18, 2022 in Riu Palace Hotel, Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. The goal of this conference was to consolidate and disseminate new developments in Geometry and Physics.

The Foundation funded a project of the International Center for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS-Sofia) at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics for a period of three years. The funds will be used to organize international scientific forums with the participation of world-renowned and established mathematicians, to open new positions for researchers and to support scientists from Ukraine and other countries.
