The students were able to learn about the project the group is working on, as well as have a glimpse into the life and work of scientists. They also learnt about some mathematical concepts they will reencounter in their future science studies, which both of them are looking forward to pursue.
It is the 3rd year that the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica participates in the “INNOBAT” program in which researchers from the institution host High School students for an immersive experience, offering them a training that involves the student’s approach to real learning environments linked to their choice of baccalaureate and their study and professional orientation, bearing in mind that they are still in the process of deciding on higher studies.
It is a program proposed by the school and supported by CERCA.

ADA: Decoding Brain Signals Misaligned in Time
The study addresses a key limitation of current brain decoding techniques: the difficulty of interpreting internal mental processes whose temporal dynamics vary from trial to trial.Decoding what is happening in a person’s mind from their brain activity is one of the...
Rare curves, many points: Christophe Ritzenthaler and Rachel Pries on their research and the work around it
Christophe Ritzenthaler (Université de Rennes) and Rachel Pries (Colorado State University) both work on curves over finite fields: he hunts curves with as many points as possible, she hunts curves that almost never occur. In conversation with the CRM during their...
Call open for the 2027 Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize
The Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Foundation is accepting submissions for its 2027 prize, which awards 15,000 euros and publication in Birkhäuser's Progress in Mathematics series to an expository monograph on an active area of mathematical research. The deadline is 27...
Susanna Terracini delivers the CRM Colloquium 2026
Susanna Terracini (Università di Torino) delivered the CRM Colloquium 2026 on 14 July, presenting a rigidity result for Kepler billiards obtained with Stefano Baranzini, Vivina Barutello and Irene De Blasi. She was at the centre as a member of the CRM Scientific...
Ho Chi Minh City hosts the first SEAMS School on applying mathematics to real-world problems
More than fifty students from six countries spent a week at the University of Science, VNU-HCM, learning how mathematics gets used outside a mathematics department. CRM researcher Tim Myers co-organised the school and lectured on moving boundary problems. The...
A single ball on a fixed table can compute: Eva Miranda and Isaac Ramos prove that two-dimensional billiards are Turing complete
Eva Miranda (UPC, CRM) and Isaac Ramos (ETH Zürich) show that a point particle bouncing inside a planar table with fixed walls can simulate a universal Turing machine, settling a question Cristopher Moore left open in 1990. The result grew out of a master’s project...
