Sign into July 24, 2026
Venue: Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM)
Room: A1
Introduction
This new edition of the ‘Barcelona Introduction to Mathematical Research’ Summer School, under the BGSMath, aims to attract students in Mathematics (mainly in their 3rd or 4th year), from any University (in Barcelona or elsewhere) into the first steps in mathematical research in different disciplines.
The students will participate in the following activities:
1) Working on a research project in Mathematics during July. This will be done under the supervision of an Advisor/Tutor, and may consist of reading one or a few research papers (or book chapters), or working on a small open problem.
2) Attendance to the Minicourses on Introduction to Research that will take place during the weeks of June 29 – July 3 and July 6 – 10.
3) Attendance to the Round Table: ‘Academic career in mathematical research: what to do and when’ and a General Public talk (topic still to decide), that will take place during the afternoon in mid-July.
4) Participation in weekly social events (coffee breaks during the minicourses, and one social pizza evening for each of the four weeks of the program).
Research Project
The selected students will work on a research project in Mathematics during the month of July.
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.
