Thursday, 31 August 2023 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 8TH EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF MATHEMATICS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED

The European Congress of Mathematics, held every four years, is a well-established major international mathematical event. Following those in Paris (1992), Budapest (1996), Barcelona (2000), Stockholm (2004), Amsterdam (2008), Kraków (2012), and Berlin (2016), the 8th European Congress of Mathematics (8ECM) took place in Portorož, Slovenia, June 20–26, 2021. The event, co-organized and hosted by UP, was attended by about 1700 participants from all over the world, mostly online due to Covid pandemic.

In July this year, the proceedings of the 8ECM were published. They provide a permanent record of current mathematics of highest quality by presenting extended versions of seven plenary, six prize, and fourteen invited lectures as well as eleven lectures from minisymposia keynote speakers, all of which were delivered during the congress.

The editors of the proceedings are Ademir Hujdurović, Klavdija Kutnar, Dragan Marušič, Štefko Miklavič, Tomaž Pisanski, all from UP, and Primož Šparl from the University of Ljubljana.

The proceedings will soon be available in the UP University library.

8ECM hosted the biggest names in the field of modern mathematics, among others the Abel laureate Prof. László Lovász and the President of the European Research Council, Acad. Prof. Jean-Pierre Bourguignon. 1,058 talks, lectures and mini-symposia, a wide range of accompanying cultural events and eight exhibitions were organised, while in May Slovenian Post issued also a special stamp.
