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 at 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.

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.

This workshop focuses on integrable models that can be described in terms of quantum spectral curves (QSC). A QSC is a solution of the Q-system, a system of non-linear recurrence relations characterising the integrable model. Some Q-systems are in turn related to the cluster algebras which have been intensely studied in the last two decades. Cluster structures appear in the Seiberg-Witten systems describing the infrared behaviour of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
