Call for Nominations for the N.G. de Bruijn Prize 2025

Zondag 8 september

In 2025 the triennial N.G. de Bruijn prize will be awarded again during the Netherlands Mathematical Congress (NMC). The 2025 prize will be awarded for the best mathematical work that appeared in a peer reviewed journal in the years 2022 through 2024. The prize is provided by Elsevier, publisher of KWG's scientific journal Indagationes Mathematicae. Nominees for the prize either have the Dutch nationality, or live in The Netherlands, or are affiliated with a Dutch institute. The laureate receives a medal, a certificate, and EUR 4000. The laureate gives a plenary lecture at the NMC, and the Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde (NAW) publishes an interview with the laureate or an article aimed at a broad audience written by the laureate. Individuals can nominate a candidate by sending a nomination letter to the chair of the jury for the N.G. de Bruijn Prize, Prof.dr. Jasper Stokman J.V.Stokman@uva.nl before 9 October 2024.

Young KWG day on 24th of May for all early career mathematicians

Zondag 5 mei

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!
