Barcelona Introduction to Mathematical Research 2023 Summer Program

This new edition of the ‘Barcelona Introduction to Mathematical Research’ Summer School, now under the BGSMath aims to attract students in Mathematics (mainly in their 3rd or 4th year), from any University (in Barcelona or elsewhere).

The students will participate in the following activities:

• Working on a research project in Mathematics during the month of 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.
• Attendance to the Minicourses on Introduction to Research that will take pace during the weeks of July 3-7 and 10-14.
• 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.
• Participation in weekly social events (coffee breaks during the minicourses, and one social pizza evening for each week of July).

The students will work on a research project in Mathematics during the month of July 2023.

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:

• Natàlia Castellana (UAB, Algebraic Topology)
• Jezabel Curbelo (UPC, Applied Mathematics)
• Francesc Fité (UB, Number Theory)
• Juanjo Rué (UPC, Discrete Mathematics)

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

The students will participate in the following activities:

• Round Table: ‘Academic career in mathematical research: what to do and when’.
• Weekly social events: coffee breaks during the minicourses, and a social pizza evening each week of July.

There will be Accommodation fellowships for the month of July for students who live outside the Barcelona metropolitan area.

The selection of applicants will be done based on:

• • Expression of interest.
  • CV.
  • Academic transcript.
  • A recommendation letter.
  • The expected number of students is around 25 participants.

Applications will open: January/February 2023.
Application deadline: 19th March 2023.
Resolutions: will be sent by April 15th.
Summer Program: July 3rd – July 28th.
