From August 7 to 9, 2025, the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI–BAS) will host the International Conference Celebrating the Consortium IMSAC – an event that brings together distinguished mathematicians from around the world.
The conference is jointly organized by the International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia (ICMS-Sofia) at IMI–BAS and the Institute for the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA) at the University of Miami.
The ICMS – Sofia is a partner in the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas Consortium (IMSAC), which includes a group of universities from Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and USA. The purpose of this consortium is a collaboration between institutions in higher education and establishment of joint research activities. The Consortium was organized in 2020 as an idea of Ludmil Katzarkov with the goal to multiply the collaboration effect and obtain stronger mathematical results in the following directions: the creation of Theory of Atoms; Nonkaehler Hodge theory; Self-organized chaos. Some of the research directions in ICMS-Sofia come from this collaboration.
The Celebrating the Consortium IMSAC conference will take place in Hall 403 at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics in Sofia. The programme starts with a talk by the Fields Medalist Caucher Birkar. Over the course of three days, leading researchers from the IMSAC network will present their latest results, discuss joint projects, and explore new directions in mathematics and its applications.
This international meeting is a testament to the strength of global academic partnerships and the growing role of ICMS-Sofia as a center for high-level mathematical research. The event reaffirms ICMS-Sofia’s mission to foster scientific excellence and international collaboration within the framework of IMSAC.
