On the 23rd of May in the morning, around 20 researchers gathered in ICTA-UAB’s Sala Antoni Rossell for an informal meeting to create synergies.
After a welcome given by the directors, researchers from both centers, previously selected with shared research interests, presented their work in two series of short talks. In the presentation sessions researchers gained a general awareness of what kind of projects were going on in the neighbouring center and during the coffee breaks they were able to engage in deeper discussions.
ICTA-UAB is a multidisciplinary center that promotes research in environmental sciences and aims to improve our understanding of global environmental change, and the nature and causes of environmental problems. CRM is a center specialized in mathematical research in all mathematical areas with a focus on its applications and social impact. Some of the topics covered were climate change forecast and adaptation, urban mobility and green infrastructures. Work from both centers is highly complementary and teher are many opportunities to help in each other’s research. Next step will be a second Joint Workshop in which possible collaborations will be explored further.
Three CRM researchers take mathematics to the bars of Sabadell
On 20 May, three researchers from the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica spent the evening at two bars in Sabadell, explaining their work to anyone who turned up for a drink. They were taking part in Pint of Science Sabadell 2026, the local edition of an international...
An introductory course to the Boltzmann equation: from microscopic dynamics to macroscopic order
Between April 28 and May 14, 2026, the Faculty of Mathematics at the Universitat de Barcelona hosted the BGSMath course An introductory course to the Boltzmann equation. Over six sessions, the course brought together students and researchers interested in one of the...
What memory has to balance: Representational drift, network freezing, and the mechanisms that hold neural circuits in between
Two recent papers from the Computational and Mathematical Neuroscience group at CRM ask what makes neural circuits drift in the first place, and what keeps them from collapsing under their own learning rules. One, published in PNAS, traces representational drift in...
