Academician Todorov was a scholar with extraordinary achievements and worldwide recognition in the field of modern theoretical physics—particularly in particle theory, high-energy physics, and the mathematical foundations of physics. Throughout his long scientific career, he maintained numerous fruitful collaborations with prominent mathematicians and mathematical physicists from around the world.
The conference aims to highlight the contributions of women mathematicians in one of the most dynamic fields of modern algebra. The program includes presentations of the latest scientific results, discussions on current problems, and opportunities for new collaborations in representation theory and adjacent areas.
Dr. Cockburn is a world-renowned expert, an original signatory of the Agile Manifesto (2001), and the author of the industry-standard Writing Effective Use Cases. His talk will address the Heart of Agile (Collaborate, Deliver, Reflect, Improve) as a practical compass in a landscape increasingly dominated by AI tools.

FOCUS aims to create an international team led by Assoc. Prof. Milena Dobreva from the University of Strathclyde, UK, bringing together international and Bulgarian researchers who are developing their own doctoral and postdoctoral research projects and have opportunities to participate in researcher mobility and training activities. The project coordinator for IMI-BAS is Assoc. Prof. Krasimira Ivanova.
The Management of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences extends its warm greetings to colleagues, partners, and friends on the occasion of the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays.
Each year, an internationally distinguished scientist is invited as the Atanasoff Lecturer to deliver a keynote lecture highlighting frontier ideas where mathematical structure meets computational innovation. The series provides an open platform for dialogue across fields: pure mathematics, physics, data science, and artificial intelligence. It also serves as a tribute to the scientific imagination of John Vincent Atanasoff, whose work laid the foundations of electronic computation.
The distinction is conferred for his outstanding contributions to the development of modern mathematics, for his exceptional role in fostering international collaborations with IMI–BAS, and for his great efforts in establishing the Institute’s position as a leading international research center.
