Prof. Massimiliano Berti among invited speakers at the International Congress of Mathematicians 2026
We are delighted to announce that Massimiliano Berti, full professor of Mathematical Analysis, has been invited to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2026, taking place in Philadelphia from 23 to 30 July at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The ICM is the world’s most prestigious mathematics conference, held every four years by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) since 1897.
On Thursday 4 July at 11 am, SISSA will host an event as part of the PhD for Innovation programme, in the Big Meeting Room (7th floor)...
The most selective European research funding once again rewards the scientist from the Trieste-based institute. His research will explore fundamental quantum phenomena and their potential implications in various fields, from black holes to future computing. SISSA ranks first in Italy for the number of ERC grants won per researcher.
The prize citation highlights the mathematician’s pivotal role in the numerical analysis of partial differential equations in mathematical physics, particularly in fluid dynamics, with significant applications in industrial mathematics, engineering, and the physical and natural sciences...
Are you passionate about science and eager to share it with the world? Do you want to turn your curiosity into a profession? The time has come: applications are officially open for the 2025–2026 edition of the “Franco Prattico” Master’s in Science Communication at SISSA, Trieste!
Founded in 1993 and the first of its kind in Europe, the MCS is a postgraduate program that trains the science communicators of tomorrow: journalists, science popularizers, writers, podcasters, editors, videomakers, museum professionals, and experts in institutional and digital communication.
The next SISSA Colloquium will be held on Monday, June 9 2025, at 14:00 in Aula Magna Budinich, with a lecture by Bernd Sturmfels (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig, and University of California, Berkeley)
The document outlines a shared vision of the social role of research, aiming to strengthen dialogue between science and society and enhance the cultural, social, and economic impact of knowledge...
Starting from the book “Il Cervello Inconscio” by John Nicholls, Alasdair Gibb and David Brown, published by ALE Edizioni, the speakers will explore how the brain regulates the functioning of our body without our conscious awareness.
A free public event Thursday 29 May at 18:30 with Nobel Laureate William Phillips and Professor Vanderlei Bagnato
