Nederlands Mathematisch Congres Date: 12 april 2012 Location: TU Eindhoven Audience: This conference attracts a large part of the Dutch mathematical community Subject: Next to two plenairy talks there are four parallel minisymposia sessions on topics in applied and pure mathematics, and a more broadly accessible presentation. The General Meeting of the Koninklijk Wiskundig Genootschap will be held during the congres. Also this year PhD students are offered the opportunity to present their results to a broader audience. The best presentation will be rewarded the Philips NMC Prize. Besides, a poster session will be organized for all PhD students and postdocs Organization: Faculty of Mathematics at TU/e (prof.dr.ir. G.J. Woeginger).

Study Group Mathematics with Industry / SWI2012 Date: 30 January - 03 February 2012 Location: Dept of Mathematics and Computer Science, TU/e Audience: PhD and staff members from The Netherlands and Belgium Subject: This study group takes the standard form including the presentation of problems, selecting the teams, (eventually: intermediate reports), presentation of solutions, feedback moment from the owners of the problem Organization: Adrian Muntean , Alessandro Di Bucchianico, Jan Draisma, Remco van der Hofstad, Mark Peletier, Antonios Zagaris, Marko Boon, Jan-Jaap Oosterwijk Website: http://www.eurandom.nl/events/workshops/2012/SWI_2012/index.html

Date: 1-24 December 2011 Audience: studenten Subject: Het Duitse wiskunde-instituut MATHEON organiseert al enige jaren een adventskalender. Elke dag, van 1 t/m 24 december, wordt op http://www.mathekalender.de een vakje "geopend" waarachter een wiskundeprobleem verschijnt met 10 mogelijke antwoorden. Die problemen zijn niet gemakkelijk (soms van het niveau van de finale van de Nederlandse Wiskunde Olympiade), maar de oplossing ervan vergt in principe geen geavanceerde wiskunde. Net als vorig jaar werken de wiskunde-afdelingen van de drie Technische Universiteiten van Delft, Eindhoven en Twente, verenigd in 3TU.AMI (Applied Mathematics Institute), ook dit jaar weer samen met het MATHEON. Verscheidene opgaven zijn bedacht door wiskundigen van 3TU.AMI. Verder stelt 3TU.AMI een laptop beschikbaar als prijs voor de Nederlandse scholier die de beste score haalt. Daarnaast stelt het MATHEON elke dag prijzen beschikbaar en elke deelnemer kan daarnaar meedingen. Het is een individuele wedstrijd, maar het kan leuk zijn om met een groep of schoolklas te proberen om samen het goede antwoord van een opgave te vinden. Het zou mooi zijn als een Nederlandse scholier de wedstrijd wint! Organization: MATHEON Website: http://www.mathekalender.de

Date: 10-12 october 2012 Location: EURANDOM, TU/e Subject: The quality of statistical inference essentially depends on how complex we assume the underlying statistical model to be: generally, the richer the model, the worse the quality of statistical inferences. On the other hand, if the proposed model is too simple, it may not be able to provide a reasonable fit to the data. In an adaptive setup, instead of one particular model one deals with a family of models, often ordered or embedded from simple to complex. Depending on the statistical problem at hand (for instance, regression function estimation, testing hypothesis, confidence set), the general problem of adaptation is, loosely formulated, to design a so called adaptive method for solving this statistical problem which performs in multiple model situation as good as in a single model, or, if this is not possible, with the smallest loss of quality Organization:Angelika Rohde, Eduard Belitser, Geurt Jongbloed Website: http://www.eurandom.nl/events/workshops/2012/SWI_2012/index.html Website: http://www.eurandom.tue.nl/events/workshops/2011/YES%20V/index_yesv.htm

Date: 6 June 2011 Location: TU Delft Audience: The Scientific Computing Community (WSC) in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) organizes each year a one day Spring Meeting to provide Ph.D Students and Postdoc’s in Scientific Computing a platform to present their research and to stimulate interaction between the various research groups active in this field Subject: The topics of the presentations reflect the wide range of research topics currently investigated by the various research groups within the WSC and cover both theoretical research in numerical analysis and scientific computing and applications. The spring meeting is a nice addition to the Woudschoten Conference on Numerical Analysis, which is also organized by the WSC, and where current research topics in scientific computing are discussed more in depth by six internationally well-known researchers Organization: Prof.dr.ir. C. Kees Vuik (TUD) & Prof.dr.ir. Jaap J.W. van der Vegt (UT)

Date: 14 - 15 april 2011 Location: Universiteit Twente Programme Audience: This conference attracts a large part of the Dutch mathematical community Subject: Prominent mathematicians will deliver key-note speeches, and young talented mathematicians will deliver speeches in parallel sessions. In addition, there is substantial attention for the future generation of mathematicians via sessions on teaching (for this part the preferred language is Dutch) at high school and university and sessions dedicated to MSc and PhD students. There will also be an opportunity for students to present posters. The program aims at finding balance between mathematics for the beauty of mathematics and mathematics for the beauty of its applications. Thursday April 14 the Brouwer Medal is awarded to a prominent mathematician.  Organization: Department of Mathematics UT (Prof. R.J. Boucherie - Chairman, Prof. A.A.
