In almost a month, the first day for early career mathematicians in the Netherlands will be organized! Don't miss it! Please forward the news among your teams.

We warmly invite all young researchers in mathematics in the Netherlands to join our first annual Young KWG day on Friday the 24th of May in Utrecht! Young KWG is the newest addition to the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG), and aims to foster a community of young mathematicians in the Netherlands in the early stages of their careers, ranging from PhD-students and Postdocs, to early career assistant professors, from aspiring mathematics teachers to young industry professionals.

On the first Young KWG day we aim to kickstart the Young KWG platform by providing all participants with a place to network, be inspired, and learn. Diletta Martinelli (assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam) will be our keynote speaker. There is a workshop session specifically aimed at young mathematicians, in which you can learn more about grant writing, giving a mathematical presentation, or how to build your own website. In addition, we will organise an exciting panel session on the bumpy road that is called a career, in which mathematicians that chose different career paths talk about their perspectives. 

More details about the program can be found at the Young KWG website (https://www.wiskgenoot.nl/index.php?page=overyoungkwg)

Registration is open and accessible via this registration form (https://forms.gle/1JGonWfxzUavQzLN8).

Looking forward to seeing you in Utrecht!

Lotte Weedage (PhD candidate at University of Twente)
Sven Polak (Assistant Professor at Tilburg University)
Bharti Bharti (PhD candidate at University of Amsterdam)
Mar Curco Iranzo (PhD candidate at Utrecht University)
Martijn Gösgens (PhD candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology)
Nikki Levering  (Postdoc at University of Toulouse)
Tom van der Zanden (Assistant Professor at Maastricht University)

On April the 2nd and 3d the Netherlands Mathematical Congress 2024 will take place in De Werelt in Lunteren! Keynote lectures will be given by Leslie Ann Goldberg (University of Oxford), Stefanie Jegelka (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and Amie Wilkinson (University of Chicago). The Beeger lecture will be given by Andrew Sutherland (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

All four mathematics clusters, the two NWO Gravitation programmes, AI & Mathematics and 4TU.AMI will organize a parallel session. Furthermore, there will be sessions organized by EWM-NL and by the newly established Young KWG.

Next to the keynote lectures and the traditional parallel sessions, the programme elements that were introduced last year, will be offered: the workshops for PhD students, the Poster Competition and the Indagationes Mathematicae Best Paper Award session. Besides the latter, the Speed Dates session the KWG PhD Prize, the Stieltjes Prize and the Pythagoras Prize ceremonies will take place.

Het KWG is op zoek naar een nieuwe bladmanager/eindredacteur voor Nieuw Archief en een zakelijk directeur voor Epsilon. Meer informaties vindt u in de bijgevoegde pdf.

Op zaterdag 13 januari 10:30 - 16:00 vindt het jaarlijkse KWG Wintersymposium plaats. Dit jaar is het thema Inzichtelijk abstract met verrassende resultaten uit de algebraïsche topologie en meetkunde visueel toegankelijk gemaakt. Op de website vindt u meer informatie en gelegenheid om u in te schrijven voor deelname.
