February at the ICMAT

 

For five weeks, from 27th February to 31st March, the Quantum Information Theory (QIT) thematic programme will bring together around 150 international specialists in quantum information theory at the ICMAT. Senior and junior researchers will be able to share ideas and work together on quantum-related topics where mathematical techniques are especially relevant.

The ICMAT celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science

There were numerous initiatives that, for another year, were organized around 11th February, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The ICMAT joined this day, on this occasion, with a workshop on knots  aimed at high school students, given by the researcher Eva Elduque (ICMAT-UAM) on 10th February at the Institute. In addition, the CSIC+UAM Inter-Centre Equality Commission, in which the ICMAT participates, organized two symposia of women scientists who have recently been recognized with outstanding prizes: the mathematician Maryam Viazovska, Fields medalist 2022, and Carolyn Bertozzi, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022.
