Barcelona Introduction to Mathematical Research 2022 Summer Program

This will be the first ‘Barcelona Introduction to Mathematical Research’ Summer Program organized by CRM-UB with professors from UB-UAB-UPC-CRM, which aims to attract students in Mathematics (mainly in their 3rd or 4th year) from any university (in Barcelona or elsewhere).

The program will consist of a research project, four minicourses and other activities.

The students will work on a research project in Mathematics during the month of July 2022.

This will be done under the supervision of a senior Advisor, and will consist of reading one or a few research papers (or book chapters) and/or working on a small open problem.

A committee will assign the students to their senior Advisors based on the preferences of both.

The students will participate in four courses on Introduction to Research, given by:

• Marta Casanellas (UPC, Algebraic Methods in Phylogenetics)
• Joana Cirici (UB, Topology of Complex Manifolds)
• Javier Gómez Serrano and Xavier Ros Oton (UB, Analysis and PDE)
• Joan Porti (UAB, Geometry)

Each of these courses will be 5h long, and will take place at Facultat de Matemàtiques i Informàtica de la Universitat de Barcelona.
