The “SPONTANEOUS SCIENCE STORIES” with Christian Baumann, Malik Kaufmann and in partnership with UNIGE’s Scienscope, will take place on Sunday 14th of November at 2pm at the Théâtre le Caveau in Geneva (FR). 
The Wright Colloquium's Sound & Light Show has started and will illuminate the façade of the University of Geneva's Uni Bastions until 21st of November every evening (6 pm, 7 pm and 8:30 pm). Take a glimpse of the rhythm of colourful paintings that evoke the beauty of mathematics! 
In the collective imagination, rolling die allows one to obtain an unpredictable result… But is this really true? If you did not get a chance to attend last week's Wright Colloquium Public Talk: "Does randomness really exist?" by our member Hugo Duminil Copin (UNIGE) you can now watch it online. 
Press coverage mentioning the work of our member Nicolas Brunner (UNIGE). The research has been published on Nature: Experimental relativistic zero-knowledge proofs. 
Scientific American article mentioning the work of our member Renato Renner (ETH Zurich) and how Machine-learning algorithms can guide humans toward new experiments and theories. 
If you did not get the chance to attend the discussion earlier this month "L'énigme du réel" (FR) with our member Nicolas Gisin (UNIGE), Michel Mayor (UNIGE) Nobel Prize in Physics 2019, astrophysicist and Matthieu Ricard Buddhist monk, it is now available online. 
PLAY RTS - (FR) "Les entreprises suisses qui développent des produits à l'aide des technologies quantiques". Interview with our member Nicolas Gisin (UNIGE) 
We are glad to inform you that we have made available a selection of photographs, as well as the Colloquia & Public Talks from the 2021 SwissMAP General Meeting, which took place in September at the SwissMAP Research Station in les Diablerets in a hybrid format. 
The Institute of Mathematics at the University of Zurich invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship supervised by Professor Alberto Cattaneo, as part of the Simons Collaboration on Global Categorical Symmetries. This is a joint physics and mathematics research program focused on the interplay between quantum field theory, topology, higher category theory and representation theory. 
If you did not get the chance earlier this week to attend the streamed discussion on the book “Enigmes Mathématiques au temps de Charlemagne” published by EPFL Press, the video of the discussion is currently online. 
Our member Nicolas Gisin (UNIGE) will be part of the discussion "A Ciel Ouvert Science et Spiritualité" (FR) together with Michel Mayor (UNIGE) Nobel Prize in Physics 2019, astrophysicist and Matthieu Ricard Buddhist monk. 
Article in Le Temps on the discussion "A Ciel Ouvert Science et Spiritualité" with our member Nicolas Gisin (UNIGE) together with Michel Mayor (UNIGE) Nobel Prize in Physics 2019, astrophysicist and Matthieu Ricard Buddhist monk on 16th October at 11:00 at UNIGE. 
QuantaMagazine article about the latest work by our member Alessio Figalli (ETH Zurich), with Joaquim Serra (ETH Zurich) and Xavier Ros Oton (Universitat de Barcelona). 
The Winter School will take place in Hybrid Format. Please note that the number of onsite participants is restricted to 65. Online registrations are also possible. Onsite registration deadline: 5th December 2021. Online registration deadline: 15th December 2021
The conference has been postponed to 2022, (previous dates: 22-25 June 2020 and 7-10 June 2021). This conference will bring together students and close collaborators of Jean-Pierre Eckmann on the occasion of his 50 years at the University of Geneva.
